Why in the news?<\/h2>\n

For the potential detection of cancer in its earlier stages, screening of blood biomarkers<\/span> is being suggested as a possible method by researchers.<\/p>\n

According to the researchers, a new AI-powered test can be used to accurately and quickly detect three major types of cancer<\/span>, by using only a single spot of dried blood<\/span>. This dried blood spot can serve as a biomarker for cancer detection.<\/p>\n

1. According to WHO, Biomarker is defined as any measurement which reflects an interaction between a biological system and a potential hazard. This potential hazard <\/span><\/span>may be chemical, physical, or biological. The measured response is measured in functional, physiological or<\/span> biochemical terms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. It\u00a0is an objective measurement<\/span> that captures what is happening in a cell or an organism at a given moment. It is often referred to as molecular markers or signature molecules.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Biomarkers consist of biomolecules<\/span> like carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, genes, DNA, RNA, platelets, enzymes, and hormones.<\/p>\n

4. Biomarkers play a crucial role in disease diagnosis,<\/span> appropriate drug prescription,<\/span> dosage determination,<\/span> and<\/span> drug development.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
