Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of diseases of civilization, i.e., cancer, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune diseases have shown an exponential worldwide rise in recent years. The development of molecular, biotechnology, and genetic tools has provided to the clinical practice valuable diagnostic tools based on new molecules, proteins, as well as genes, which are not only involved in the pathogenesis of civilization diseases but are also used as markers to assess the effectiveness of therapy or to predict development of complications. Today, a diversity of the available diagnostic tools have helped physicians to change the way of approaching civilization illness toward the concept of personalized medicine. In this Special Issue, we invite investigators to contribute either original research or review articles focusing on the role of new protein, molecular, and genetic markers that can be used for the diagnosis and monitoring of the progression of the several complications linked to civilization diseases as well as biomarkers useful in monitoring the effects of the implemented treatment. At the same time, we invite researchers to submit either original research or review articles having civilization diseases as the main topic focusing on the latest diagnostic tools and possible use of them as biomarkers for health and disease.
