Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The involvement of biomarkers in predictive modeling and their inclusion in the risk assessment of clinical events has seen significant development in recent years. These aspects are essential for personalized medicine, allowing for tailored approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Biomarkers are key to an early and accurate diagnosis, as well as risk assessment and prognosis, providing measurable indicators of individual characteristics and guiding personalized treatment strategies.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers that highlight the use of biomarkers in preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic medicine. We also focus our attention on the involvement of biomarkers in public health and their current use in clinical practice.
Currently, there are only a limited number of predictors available, but the development and addition of predictive markers could have a significant impact. Interest in biomarkers has increased, and new methodologies have been developed to evaluate their utility. Biomarker discovery and validation are of particular interest for the advancement of personalized medicine. Analytical techniques are available to quantify the added value of biomarkers, highlighting both their strengths and limitations. While some biomarkers may be relevant to both clinical medicine and dentistry, dentistry has its own unique set of biomarkers that are relevant to oral health, diagnosis and management of dental conditions. In the future, preventive and predictive biomarkers will play a key role in healthcare.
Original articles, reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and case reports are welcomed.
