Biomarker Status Signaling

Meaning

Biomarker Status Signaling refers to the physiological process where the quantitative level or qualitative state of a specific biological marker communicates or influences a downstream cellular or systemic function. These markers, which can include hormones, metabolites, or gene expression products, provide real-time information about an organism’s health, disease state, or response to intervention. In endocrinology, the signaling status of a biomarker often reflects the efficiency of a glandular axis or the availability of a critical precursor. Clinical practice leverages this signaling to assess patient well-being and guide personalized treatment strategies.
