Urine Proteomics in Kidney Disease Biomarker Discovery
This book systematically summarizes the ideas and technologies used in urine proteome analysis. It argues that change is the core of biomarker definition since the body uses its homeostatic mechanisms to correct changes in the blood. This means that urine is probably a better source of biomarkers than blood. A roadmap to the urinary biomarker era is proposed, and researchers are reminded of the…

Furthermore, modeling "in exact terms" and programming as a means for producing agent-based simulations were simply beyond the field of the so…
