Vormimarker

Vormimarker, also known as biomarkers, are measurable indicators of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or responses to an exposure or intervention, including therapeutic interventions. They are used in various fields such as medicine, pharmacology, and environmental science to assess health status, diagnose diseases, monitor treatment responses, and evaluate the impact of environmental factors. Biomarkers can be classified into several categories based on their origin and function, including genetic biomarkers, biochemical biomarkers, and clinical biomarkers. Genetic biomarkers involve changes in DNA, RNA, or proteins, while biochemical biomarkers measure levels of specific substances in the body, such as hormones, enzymes, or metabolites. Clinical biomarkers are observable signs or symptoms that can be measured and evaluated. The selection of appropriate biomarkers is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and management of diseases. Advances in technology, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have significantly enhanced the identification and utilization of biomarkers in research and clinical practice.
