TRENDS IN MOLECULAR MEDICINE

由爱思唯尔科学出版。ISSN: 1471-4914。分子医学趋势的目标是促进具有不同背景和技能的受过高度训练的专业人员之间的交流，他们的共同目标是了解和解释疾病的分子基础，以便新的临床实践。分子医学趋势是学生和专业人士的资源，他们有超越传统临床或科学分类的信息需求。分子医学的发展趋势包括对疾病遗传基础的综述文章，但“分子”并不仅仅指DNA。遗传过程的诊断作用是明确的，但对健康和疾病的主要好处也由其他分子提供:酶、抗生素、激素、金属、碳水化合物、脂类、维生素、合成有机和无机聚合物。这些好处是讨论和评估在分子医学的趋势。此外，“医学”涉及一个重要的社会因素;分子干预引发了有争议的伦理、法律和财务问题。所有这些问题都在《分子医学趋势》杂志上以25年出版《趋势》杂志的经验为基础进行了探讨。

Published by Elsevier Science. ISSN: 1471-4914.Trends in Molecular Medicine's objective is to facilitate communication between groups of highly trained professionals with distinct backgrounds and skills, whose common goals are to understand and explain the molecular basis of disease with a view to new clinical practice. Trends in Molecular Medicine is a resource for students and professionals alike, who have information needs that transcend the traditional clinical or scientific categorisation. Trends in Molecular Medicine includes review articles on the genetic basis of disease, but 'molecular' does not only mean DNA. The diagnostic role of genetic processes is clear, but major benefits in health and disease are also provided by other molecules: enzymes, antibiotics, hormones, metals, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, synthetic organic and inorganic polymers. Such benefits are discussed and evaluated by Trends in Molecular Medicine. Furthermore 'Medicine' involves a vital societal element; molecular intervention raises controversial ethical, legal and financial issues. All these issues are addressed in Trends in Molecular Medicine in a style that builds on 25 years' experience of publishing the Trends Journals.
