Overview

Biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics, such as molecules in body fluids or tissue, that indicate normal processes, disease, or response to exposure or treatment. They support diagnosis, screening, prognosis, risk stratification, and the monitoring of therapy, and may be molecular, cellular, epigenetic, or imaging-based. A useful biomarker reliably reflects an underlying biological state and can be detected with reproducible assays, making biomarker discovery and validation central to translational and systems-level research. Work in this area spans molecular biomarkers reviewed across disease, epigenetic biomarkers in head and neck cancer, and long non-coding RNAs proposed as epigenetic markers of tobacco- and alcohol-related cancer. Studies also examine newborn microRNA expression as a potential diagnostic indicator, imaging biomarkers of choroidal pathology in age-related macular degeneration, and immunological markers such as immunoglobulins and complement in unexplained female infertility. Further research develops cellular and molecular biomarkers of anti-inflammatory probiotic activity in fermented foods, applies metabolomic tools to assess environmental exposure, and evaluates vital-organ-specific markers in cell-based studies. By connecting detectable molecular and cellular signatures to physiological and disease states, biomarker research enables earlier and more precise detection, guides treatment selection, and links the measurement of biological signals to the broader goals of diagnostics, prevention, and personalised care.
