Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Analytical methods for the detection and quantification of elements in biological samples are critical for the advance of research in multiple areas of human and animal health. These include the investigation of the role of the essential role of metals and metalloids in metabolism and immune responses; the development of metal-containing drugs for more effective therapeutic treatment as well as the assessment of the impact and mechanism of action of toxic metal(loid)s in biota. The complexity of the biological matrices, and the low concentration of some of the elements present in these samples make it necessary to continue the advancements in the development and validation of accurate, precise, and very sensitive atomic spectroscopy analytical techniques.
