Gene biomarkers indicate liver toxicity quickly, accurately ANI | Updated: Dec 19, 2020 23:53 IST Washington [US], December 19 (ANI): A research team at the University of Illinois has developed a gene biomarker identification technique that cuts the testing process down to a few days while maintaining a high level of accuracy. "The aim of this research was to identify the smallest set of indicators from the liver to predict toxicity and potential liver canc...

Study identifies biomarker gene signature that indicates potential liver toxicity When agrochemical and pharmaceutical companies develop new products, they must test extensively for potential toxicity before obtaining regulatory approval. This testing usually involves lengthy and expensive animal studies.
