    Episode 19: From RNA to protein: biomarkers in cardiovascular and liver diseases

    In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of biomarkers in cardiovascular and liver diseases. Biomarkers are measurable indicators of a biological state that help detect disease, assess its severity, and predict its progression. By understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions, we can move closer to more effective and personalized treatments.
