One of the most exciting research areas in Translational Bioinformatics 2 is related to the redefinition of fundamental notions of what constitutes a ‘disease.’ Nosology, the systematic classification of diseases, dates back to Carl Linnaeus, with the Genera Morborum Today, the improvement in our abilities to make molecular measurements related to health and disease has largely driven the revol...
متن کاملBiomarkers in Rheumatoid Arthritis, what is new?
UNLABELLED Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with autoimmune pathogenesis. It affects mainly small joints (of the hands and feet) and has many systemic manifestations. Studying biomarkers in rheumatology intensely appeared from the need to understand the mechanisms underlying some rheumatic diseases. Discovering new biomarkers with key roles in various stages of evolut...
