Cells carry out specialized functions throughout the body and each cell type functions distinctly from other cell types. Some cellular functions include transporting nutrients throughout the body and producing energy. One specialized cell is muscle cells which function to create a force that moves parts of the body. Another example are bone cells, whose functions include protecting internal organs from damage and storing minerals such as calcium.
Advances in genomics and molecular biomarker testing have led to tremendous improvements, ushering in a new era of personalized medicine especially in the oncology practice. Many of these bi...
