Preface This special edition is aimed at molecular scientist and laboratory supervisors working with multiple myeloma (MM) samples and those investigators who would like to embark on studies in this field. MM is a complex disease that in most cases cannot be cured. It not only involves genomic and phenotypic alterations of plasma cells but also implicates the entire bone marrow microenvironment. The complex nature of the pathogenesis of this disease demands that great care is taken during the acquisition, isolation, and archiving of samples and the choice of molecular methods for the analysis of target cell populations, in
