Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system, including joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Molecular expression and diagnosis in rheumatology have advanced significantly in recent years, leading to the improved understanding and management of various rheumatic diseases. Some key aspects of molecular expression and diagnosis in rheumatology include biomarkers, autoantibodies, genetic testing, gene expression profiling, synovial fluid analysis, personalized medicine, and monitoring disease activity. It is important to note that while molecular diagnostics have greatly improved our understanding and management of rheumatic diseases, clinical evaluation and a holistic approach to patient care remain essential. Molecular markers are often used in conjunction with clinical assessments to provide a comprehensive view of a patient's condition. This Special Issue aims to compile studies related to new molecular diagnostics, mechanisms, and therapeutics in rheumatology. We welcome original research articles, short communications, and reviews and look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Shih-Yao Chen
