Abstract
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) has been implicated in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Its role in pain, however, is under-appreciated. This may in part be due to the challenges involved in approaching the target from a therapeutic stand point. The scope of this brief review is to understand the direct and indirect roles of IL-1β in contributing to different pain states including inflammatory and neuropathic pain, and discuss approaches to block IL-1β production or IL-1 interactions.

Big Data Mining for CNS Diseases Analysis and Treatment: Focusing on Drug Target Discovery
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, represent a major global health challenge. Despite significant research efforts, the complexity and multifactorial nature of these diseases hinder the development of effective treatments. The rise of big data analytics and high-throughput technologies ...read more
Heart and Brain Axis Targets in CNS Neurological Disorders
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in delving deeper into the complex interplay between the heart and brain. This fascination stems from a growing recognition of the profound influence each organ holds over the other, particularly in the realm of central nervous system and neurological disorders. The purpose ...read more
Innovative Therapeutics in Demyelinating CNS- Disorders: Immune Modulation, Antibody Therapy, Kinase Inhibition and Remyeliation Strategies
Demyelinating disorders, particularly multiple sclerosis represent chronic disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neurodegeneration within the central nervous system. This thematic issue will present a comprehensive overview of novel therapeutic advances targeting these processes. In addition to dissecting the roles of innate versus adaptive immunity, antibody therapies, and tyrosine kinase ...read more
Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent and Treat Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
More than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide. By 2050, the population affected by dementia will exceed 139 million individuals. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a pre-dementia stage, also known as prodromal dementia, affecting older adults. MCI emerges years before the manifestation of dementia but can be avoidable and ...read more
