Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the beginning of 2010, the term steroidomics can be found in the literature, but studies corresponding to this term were published long before that because steroidomics is a field that focuses on high-throughput profiling and quantification of steroids, most commonly by liquid or gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection. As maintaining balanced steroid levels is essential for overall health, while imbalances can contribute to disease, researchers are exploring steroidomics for applications in the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of various pathologies such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, pregnancy complications, various gonadal or adrenal disorders, which are often age-related, and others. This Special Issue, “New Perspectives in Steroidomics”, will focus on successful solutions related to the application of steroidomics not only in the areas mentioned above but particularly in areas where this approach has not yet been used. Studies utilizing steroidomics in the investigation of physiological processes will also be welcome.
Dr. Martin Hill
