Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to define the clinical and research usefulness of the evaluation of different Metabolic Biomarkers, particularly aiming at the definition of physiopathological alterations, diagnostic purposes, the evaluation of a response to a specific treatment, and prognostic purposes.
In recent years, different molecules have been evaluated both at the level of their tissue expression and at the circulating level, as well as against the so-called mRNAs (micro-RNA), non-translating molecules, which are capable of interfering with gene transcription.
These Metabolic Biomarkers show a wide array of uses and applications, ranging from cardiovascular pathologies to metabolic alterations, chronic degenerative pathologies, neurological diseases, and oncological diseases.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the main discoveries regarding the clinical and research usefulness of these Metabolic Biomarkers.
