Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The year 2022 marks the 10th anniversary of Biomedicines, a peer-reviewed, open access journal containing research pertaining to biomedicine. So far, Biomedicines has published more than 2,700 papers from more than 17,000 authors. We appreciate each author, reviewer, and academic editor whose support has brought us to where we are today.
To celebrate this significant milestone, we are publishing a Special Issue entitled 10th Anniversary of Biomedicines—Advances in Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS, has attracted worldwide recognition due to its increasing global prevalence, including populations previously considered not to be commonly affected. Genetics and environmental factors play a determining role in its pathogenesis. Notable progress has been accomplished in diagnostic criteria (which evolve continuously) as well as therapeutic advances. In fact, in less than three decades, more therapies with diverse mechanisms of action (MOAs) for relapsing and progressive MS have been developed for MS than for any other neurological disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the golden tool for diagnosis, is essential for monitoring the evolution of the disease and the response to therapy.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight studies and opinions on risk factors related to the development of the disease, molecular aspects of its pathogenesis, and the effects of disease-modifying therapies on relapsing and progressive forms of MS.
Prof. Dr. Víctor M. Rivera
