Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hematology is the study of blood, its formation, function, and disorders. It is a vast and complex field that encompasses a wide range of topics, from the basic biology of blood cells to the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases. In recent years, there have been significant advances in our understanding of hematology, which have led to the development of new diagnostic techniques and assays. These advances have had a profound impact on the care of patients with blood disorders, improving their quality of life and survival.
This Special Issue of Diagnostics will focus on the latest advances in diagnostic techniques and assays in hematology. We will publish original research articles that describe new diagnostic techniques and assays, as well as clinical studies that evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques in the diagnosis and management of patients with blood disorders.
Scope
This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to diagnostic techniques and assays in hematology, including:
- New methods for the detection and characterization of blood cells;
- Molecular diagnostics for hematological disorders;
- Flow cytometry and immunophenotyping;
- Cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics;
- Gene expression profiling and microarrays;
- Next-generation sequencing;
- Mass spectrometry;
- Biomarkers and prognostication;
- Point-of-care testing;
- The application of diagnostic techniques to the study of hematopoietic stem cells;
- The ethical and regulatory considerations of new diagnostic techniques.
