Recent research on various biomarkers for major depressive disorder (MDD) provide an opportunity to develop biosensors that can overcome the challenges faced by conventional diagnostic tools, MUNASET researchers say.
Proteases recently emerged as a promising new class of biomarkers with a broad diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential for different human diseases including neurological and psychiatric diseases, several types of cancer and immune system disorders. However, there is a lack of tools for real-time activity analysis of disease-related protease biomarkers.
