Biomarkerpaneler
Biomarkerpaneler, sometimes referred to as biomarker panels or biomarker arrays, are collections of biological molecules measured simultaneously to provide a comprehensive assessment of a biological state or process. These panels are designed to detect and quantify multiple biomarkers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or metabolites, in a single sample. The underlying principle is that a single biomarker may not be sufficient to accurately diagnose a disease, predict treatment response, or monitor disease progression. By examining a panel of biomarkers, a more nuanced and holistic picture can be obtained, potentially leading to improved diagnostic accuracy and personalized treatment strategies.
The development of biomarker panels is driven by advancements in high-throughput technologies, including microarrays, multiplex assays,
