Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Blood-based diagnostic testing remains one of the most widely utilized and clinically valuable tools in modern medicine, underpinning critical decisions across nearly every medical specialty. As healthcare shifts toward personalized, data-driven, and preventive models, blood tests are evolving rapidly, driven by advances in analytical techniques, biomarker discovery, and computational interpretation.
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, and methodological papers that explore the development, evaluation, and clinical application of blood-based diagnostics.
By focusing on innovation, existing challenges, and clinical outcomes, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how blood testing is advancing to meet the demands of modern clinical practice.
