BIOMARCADORES MOLECULARES DE DOENÇAS HUMANAS: CONCEITOS FUNDAMENTAIS, MODELOS DE ESTUDO E APLICAÇÕES CLÍNICAS

Molecular biomarkers correspond to all endogenous or exogenous biomolecules, whose presence or alteration in metabolic pathways indicate the response of a biological system to a disturbance caused by internal or external factors. The search for biomarkers has allowed deepening the knowledge of complex pathophysiological mechanisms of diseases, interactions with potential drugs, and the improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic tests, establishing itself as a central point in personalized medicine.
