Metabolic Profiles in Diseases: From Diagnosis to Characterization and Clinical Management Volume 2

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolomics, an experimental approach that provides information on a wide range of molecular processes, is gaining more and more importance in the clinical and pharmaceutical fields. The metabolome is closely linked to phenotype, and is an extremely useful tool for diagnosing diseases and evaluating the effects of treatments. The clinical applications of metabolomics in different therapeutic areas include, among others, the diagnosis and prognosis of diseases, the stratification of patients for the application of personalized therapies, the prediction of responses to therapeutic interventions, the monitoring of patients throughout treatment and/or the course of a disease, the detection of relapses/reappearances of disease, etc. This Special Issue of Metabolites, “Metabolic Profiles in Diseases: From Diagnosis to Characterization and Clinical Management”, is dedicated to metabolomic studies dealing with the potential clinical applications of metabolomics. Specific areas include the identification of disease biomarkers, tools for patient follow up, predictive models, technological developments for bringing the field from the lab bench to bedside, etc. Manuscripts dealing with other pertinent challenging issues are also highly desired.
