Scientists identify biomarkers that could help diagnose Lyme disease
Avi Ma'ayan, PhD, and Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai discuss having identified biomarkers that could help diagnose Lyme disease. He said, “It's traditionally been hard for doctors to determine whether a person has lingering bacteria in their system, has damage that was caused when they were infected, or has an activated immune system and they are just not returning back to their normal state. We could detect that the genes that are known to be associated with an immune response are upregulated. That means that they are highly expressed.
