Biomarkers

Biomarkers are traceable substances that are introduced into an organism as a way to examine organ function or alternative aspects of health. For instance, rubidium chloride is employed as a radioactive isotope to evaluate insertion of muscular tissue. It can also be a substance whose detection indicates a specific disease state, for instance, the presence of an antibody might indicate an infection. Also biomarkers  indicates a change in expression or state of a protein that correlates with the chance or progression of a disease, or with the susceptibility of the disease to a given treatment.
