In the field of functional proteomics,the human disease proteomics shows great potential in the discovery of new molecular targets and biomarkers for medicine and biopharmacy.
In the second part, we detected serum NMO-IgG of patients with neuromyelitis optica, multiple sclerosis and health people to verify whether NMO-IgG can be a biomarker for neuromyelitis optica.
One study showed therapeutic blood letting improved biomarkers for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition that commonly appears with diabetes.
So, maybe all those bloodletting patients from the past didn't understand what improvements in biomarkers meant, but found that they felt a little better.
Studies have found that people with depression have higher biomarkers for inflammation by up to 50%, and the risk of major depression increased as c-reactive protein increased.
Unlike traditional biomarkers, like blood, that take a snapshot in time, digital biomarkers work more like a video, using data collected over time to explain, influence and even predict health outcomes.
In terms of actually developing biomarkers of aging or hallmarks of aging, we have to first be able to actually measure these changes, which is hard in and of itself.
We can track heart rhythm, breathing, temperature, posture and movement, and by applying algorithms, we can use this data to decode symptoms, articulate arrhythmia triggers and generate personalized digital biomarkers.
Carbohydrate antigen 125, called CA 125, is a protein made by various types of ovarian tumors, so tracking levels of this biomarker in the blood can help monitor response to therapy and potential relapse.
