Background

Dermatopathology is an evolving field that thrives on the continuous development of more sophisticated diagnostic techniques and molecular biomarkers. With the increasing complexities of skin diseases and the demand for more precise diagnostics, researchers are compelled to find innovative solutions.

Despite numerous advances, the field still faces challenges such as differentiating between complex skin conditions and understanding the intricacies of molecular pathways. Recent studies have highlighted the role of molecular biomarkers in advancing personalised medicine and improving prognostic accuracy. However, there is a compelling need for further investigation to broaden our understanding and address these challenges effectively.

This Research Topic aims to explore and highlight the latest advancements in dermatopathology, focusing on emerging diagnostic strategies and the development of molecular biomarkers. The objective is to unravel the complexities of skin diseases, enhance diagnostic precision, and promote personalised treatment strategies. Key questions include identifying novel biomarkers, improving existing diagnostic tools, and understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms of skin conditions.

To gather further insights into the advancements in dermatopathology, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Novel molecular biomarkers and their diagnostic and prognostic relevance
• Advances in imaging techniques for skin pathology
• Integration of AI and machine learning in dermatologic diagnostics
• Case studies on the application of new diagnostic strategies
• Personalised medicine approaches in dermatopathology

We welcome submissions of original research, reviews, and case reports that contribute to the development and application of innovative diagnostic strategies and biomarkers in dermatopathology.
