The idea of finding a single metabolite biomarker that can unambiguously diagnose a disease is a beguiling one, but unfortunately not currently supported by reality. Although researchers have reported the discovery of a whole range of potential biomarkers for numerous diseases, they often don＇t stand up to closer scrutiny. But now, by combining together a whole range of different analytical and statistical techniques, a team of Chinese and German chemists may just have improved the chances of detecting a proper biomarker.
