Special Issue on Urine: The Next Generation Biomarker Source

The next generation of biomarker source is projected to rely heavily on urinary biomarkers to stratify risk, diagnose disease, determine optimal treatment strategies, evaluate drug response and monitor disease progression.

These objectives can be met through fast, author-focused publication process. We welcome all types of papers and ensure each submission undergoes thorough expert peer-review.

Topics covered:

• Urinary biomarker discovery and validation and the development of various systematic diseases.
• Disease development observations from changes in urine.
• Screening for early signs of pathophysiological processes in the body.
• Disease management and treatment based on early diagnosis of the diseases in urine.
• Technological developments that can potentially be applied to the field of urine, either in basic research or clinical applications, for example, biobanking methods of various urine components.
• Bioinformatics related to urinary biomarker studies.
• Urinary extracellular vesicles
• Urinary-based liquid biopsies
