Biomarker

Biomarkers for medicine or biology are measurable parameters of biological processes that have prognostic or diagnostic significance and are therefore used as indicators of, for example, environmental stresses or diseases. Such biomarkers can be genetic, anatomical, physiological or biochemical characteristics. They can be detected in tissues and endogenous fluids such as blood.
