Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In both clinical medicine and forensic pathology, an area of great interest is the assessment of the molecular determinants of biological injuries, especially their timing and evolutive stages. These determinants may allow for the early diagnosis of certain medical conditions and may provide data on their stages, prognosis, useful treatments, etc. These determinants may also be used to characterize traumatic or pathological injuries in detail. The number of techniques and markers evaluated is increasing year by year, leading to a significantly increased number of potentially useful tests for routine clinical work as well as research. The aim of the following Special Issue is to collate the latest research on molecular techniques for assessing organ, tissue, or cell damage using modern biomedical technologies. Both original studies and comprehensive reviews on topics of interest are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Sorin Hostiuc
