Biomarker Discovery is a process in which molecular substances in the body are used to indicate health or disease. One of the biggest challenges in biomarker discovery is the difficulty of identifying medium to low abundance proteins in complex biological samples.
The therapeutic applications of medical cannabis and cannabinoid drugs is controversial, however the number of medical conditions in which cannabinoids and cannabis have shown promise as ther...
When the human genome was sequenced almost 15 years ago, it was a milestone for the understanding of an individual’s genome. However to fully understand a disease, millions of ind...
