However, the parity debate in philosophy of biology seems to be stuck at a point where it is not the biological details that will help move forward. In this paper, I take a step back to reexamine the very idea of causal specificity and its intended role in the parity dispute in ...
Biology is hard science that uses scientific methods to test and study topics. Personality is often the provenance of the soft sciences, such as psychology. However, they are not exclusive and both disciplines may complement each other in the study of a subject of mutual interest. ...

Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease that is caused by obligate intra-macrophage protozoa, is endemic in large areas of the tropics, subtropics and the Mediterranean basin (Fig. 1). This disease is characterized by both diversity and complexity1: it is caused by more than 20 leishmanial speci...
The minimally invasive nature of liquid biopsy and the high specificity and sensitivity makes the technology very suitable for screening populations at risk of developing cancer. Additionally, liquid biopsy can be used in determining success after surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Regular liquid biops...
Compared with chemical processes, industrial biotechnology is often more sustainable and environmentally friendly and enables specificity and reactivity that is difficult to achieve otherwise [3]. In the past two decades, along with advances in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, industrial ...
What is the continuum approach in biology? What is the simultaneity bias? What is periodicity assumption? What is a repeated measures design? What is a randomized comparative experiment? What is an interference pattern? What are the elementary forces?
Abnormal tumor microenvironment and immune escape in multiple myeloma (MM) are associated with regulatory T cells (Tregs), which play an important role in maintaining self-tolerance and regulating the overall immune response to infection or tumor cells.
To date, the personalised therapy developed by precision medicine has not shown very good specificity, and the precision of a personalised type for specific diseases has also lost its meaning when the holistic integration of treatment is needed. Spending vast human and material resources to...
These examples highlight the diverse classifications and applications of biomarkers in healthcare. FAQs Q. How do researchers ensure the specificity and accuracy of biomarkers across different ethnic groups and genders, as suggested by the FDA’s criteria for an ideal biomarker?
