Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the first volume of this Special Issue being a great success (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/Emerging_Biomarkers), we invite you to publish your research in the second volume.
In recent years, the search for disease biomarkers has been gaining increasing attention of the scientific community, since new strategies are needed for early and accurate diagnosis, and new therapeutic approaches, as well as to identify or modify the course of several diseases. The surge of interest in biomarker research is leading to the development of new predictive, diagnostic and prognostic products in medical practice, and biomarkers are also playing an increasingly important role in the discovery and development of new drugs.
Understanding the relationship between measurable biological processes and clinical outcomes is crucial to expanding our chances of treating several diseases, and deepening our understanding of physiological conditions.
The use of biomarkers in basic and clinical research, as well as in clinical practice has become so wide that their presence as primary endpoints in clinical trials is widely accepted.
In this Special Issue, advances will be presented in the identification of reliable, sensitive, specific, non-invasive, inexpensive and easily detectable biomarkers that could provide a dynamic and powerful approach, useful in understanding the broad spectrum of the various pathologies.
All contributions from researchers dealing with the identification of biomarkers, the elucidation of their role and the formalization of their application in modern medicine are welcome.
Dr. Antonella Angiolillo
