Serological biomarkers are different

August 9, 2023

Biomarkers are more than just omics categories

Biomarkers aren’t just confined to different omics categories; various classes are referring to the types of serological measurements.

Consider cytokines, growth factors, receptors, kinases, transcription factors, intracellular proteins, extracellular proteins, and a subset within that—Extracellular Matrix (ECM) proteins. The common denominator in most pathologies is a loss of balance between different ECM proteins, especially collagens.

This excessive destruction and deposition of proteins significantly propel the progression of end-stage diseases, culminating in organ dysfunction, failure, and, ultimately, death.

Diverse cytokines and growth factors orchestrating via specific receptors and kinases lead to ECM destruction and deposition, making ECM the converging pathway for multiple stimuli.

By the end of the day, what matters is to reverse ECM deterioration, or even undo, organ damage and function decline. Reversing organ damage can be achieved by stopping ECM deterioration. To truly reverse organ damage and restore organ functionality in patients, we need to repair the ECM to its normal balance.

We at Nordic Bioscience believe that the answer lies in effecting change at the tissue level—the key to reversing organ damage and, in turn, revitalizing organ function.
