Abstract:
Breast cancer (BCa) is a significant healthcare problem on women worldwide. Thus, early detection is very important to reduce mortality. Furthermore, better BCa prognosis could improve selection of patients eligible for adjuvant therapy. New markers for early diagnosis, accurate prognosis and prediction of response to treatment are necessary to improve BCa care. The present review summarizes important aspects of the potential usefulness of modern technologies, strategies, and scientific findings in proteomic research for discovery of breast cancer-associated blood-based protein biomarkers in the clinic.

The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
