Development of molecular biology methods and their applications in haemato(onco)logy in the last 25 years
Abstract
The field of molecular biology aims to explain the fundamentals governing living processes at molecular level by identifying mechanisms that produce such processes. Central discoveries describing the innate systems of living nature helped derive molecular technologies that work in vitro.
The application of these methods has not only improved understanding of molecular biology but has also helped to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. This review focuses on the key technologies of molecular genetics and their development over the past 25 years.
The application of these methods in the diagnosis and monitoring of haemato(oncolo)gical patients that have helped significantly to improve prognosis and treatment approaches, is described
