Abstract
Fibromyalgia is an enigmatic medical condition whose specific etiology remains undiscovered but currently plagues five million Americans [1]. Research indicates that the origin of the disease is most likely multifactorial. Treatment should therefore be tailored accordingly. Thus, it is often necessary to combine different options in order to achieve the maximum benefit in patients suffering from fibromyalgia.

"Multidisciplinary Pharmaceutical Drug Design Strategies in the Progress of Drug Discovery"
The process of developing a drug is time- and money-consuming, but also fascinating. The development of numerous computational techniques, synthetic methodologies, formulation-based drug discovery, etc. has improved the drug discovery process. The process of developing new drugs is significantly hampered by drug-poor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic problems. To address these challenges, ...read more
Advances in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This thematic issue will emphasize the recent breakthroughs in the mechanisms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and devotes some understanding of both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. It is expected to include studies about cellular and genetic aspects, which help to precipitate the disease, and the immune system-gut microbiome relations ...read more
Blood-based biomarkers in large-scale screening for neurodegenerative diseases
Disease biomarkers are necessary tools that can be employed in several clinical context of use (COU), ranging from the (early) diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction, to monitoring of disease state and/or drug efficacy. Regarding neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a battery of well-validated biomarkers are available, such as cerebrospinal ...read more
Diabetes mellitus: advances in diagnosis and treatment driving by precision medicine
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic degenerative metabolic disease with ever increasing prevalence worldwide which is now an epidemic disease affecting 500 million people worldwide. Insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells unable to maintain blood glucose homeostasis is the main feature of this disease. Multifactorial and complex nature of ...read more
