Biomarkers are measurable biological characteristics that indicate normal physiological processes, disease states, or responses to therapeutic intervention. They may be molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, or lipids, or quantifiable cellular and physiological parameters, and they are detectable in blood, tissue, urine, and other biological samples. Biomarkers are classified by function as diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, or pharmacodynamic, and their value depends on sensitivity, specificity, and reproducible measurement. They enable early detection, disease monitoring, risk stratification, and assessment of treatment efficacy, and they are central to the development of precision and personalised medicine. Research indexed under this topic spans molecular biomarkers reviewed across disease contexts, microRNA and long non-coding RNA biomarkers for cancer and neonatal disease diagnosis, epigenetic biomarkers in head and neck cancer, cellular and molecular markers of anti-inflammatory activity in probiotic and fermented foods, immunological markers in unexplained infertility, imaging biomarkers in macular disease, and metabolomic markers of environmental exposure. Detection methods include immunoassays, molecular and transcriptomic profiling, metabolomics, and cell-based assays. By translating underlying biology into measurable signals, biomarkers bridge mechanistic understanding and clinical decision-making. The peer-reviewed work collected here reflects their broad application across oncology, diagnostics, immunology, and environmental health within the biomedical and biotechnological sciences.
