other biomarkers.»
Others are looking at spinal fluid for proteins or
other biomarkers that might reflect the onset or progress of CTE.
Other biomarkers and genetic signatures are being used in an effort to predict the aggressiveness of an individual patient's prostate cancer, «but the current information doesn't make it possible for their gene signature to be an actual target for precision medicine targeted therapy,» Ellis explained.

other biomarkers, ecological anthropology, forensic anthropology, fossil excavation, modern Mayan cultures, Global and One Health, and both historic and prehistoric archaeology.
E-cadherin levels, combined with two
other biomarkers, can distinguish patients with 90 % long - term survival from those with 44 % survival.
The researchers, studying women with node - negative breast cancer — the small, early tumors sought by mammography — found that by adding E-cadherin to
other biomarkers that they have studied they are able to distinguish those patients with a 90 percent long - term survival from those whose survival is only 44 percent.
