Handbook of Biomarkers and Precision Medicine provides comprehensive insights into biomarker discovery and development which has driven the new era of Precision Medicine

This book provides a comprehensive explanation of precision (i.e., personalized) healthcare and explores how it can be advanced through artificial intelligence (AI) and other data-driven technologies.

Obesity is a multifactorial and complex disease. The causes of obesity are really variated, diet, physical activity and, ultimately, lifestyle play a fundamental role. The relationship between these factors and obesity development are modulated by large number of varied individual parameters, such as the genome, epigenome, microbiome, metabolome, transcriptome and resulting interactomes. Emerging scientific knowledge has manifested the importance of considering most of these factors and individual parameters in developing dynamic and accurate nutritional recommendations. In this context, the term Precision Nutrition is key, a new approach to integrate internal and external environmental factors. This Special Issue aims to provide a thorough overview of research progress on Precision Nutrition, exploring new factors that could modulate the energy balance, adiposity and variety of obesity related alterations, for instance diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc.
