Biomarker
Indicator of a biological state or condition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biomedical contexts, a biomarker, or biological marker, is a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition. Biomarkers are often measured and evaluated using blood, urine, or soft tissues[1] to examine normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention.[2] Biomarkers are used in many scientific fields.
