Biomarkers of Disease: Discovery and Clinical Applications

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Since the time of Hippocrates, physicians have used specific odours or colours of body excretions (urine, faeces, exhaled air or sweat) as markers of certain diseases. With the development of instrumental analysis, it has become possible to search out new biological markers useful for the early diagnosis of pathologies, disease staging and treatment efficacy monitoring. In the last decade, the search for new biomarkers has become an area of intensive research. There is, in our opinion, a need to present current research in this field within the framework of a single Topic, leveraging the participation of six related journals to publish studies with diverse theoretical backgrounds, including chemistry, biochemistry, clinical chemistry and medicine. This Topic will aim to cover the latest research trends and achievements in disease biomarker discovery, their validation and developments in their clinical applications. Researchers studying all aspects of biomarkers and their applications in biomedical and clinical sciences are cordially invited to contribute a research or review article for this Topic.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
