Molecular Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Eye Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Molecular Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Eye Diseases”, will cover a selection of recent research topics, preclinical studies, experimental studies, and current review articles related to the pathomechanisms, etiopathological pathways and management of eye disease, with a special emphasis on ocular surface disease. It will also include papers exploring potential treatment measures to attenuate both anterior and posterior eye disease. Apart from inflammation, understanding several key factors in the pathogenesis of eye diseases (e.g., oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, and neovascularization) open doors to novel therapeutic approaches. The molecular bases of many ophthalmic diseases are often not known, especially for multifactorial diseases. This challenge serves as roadblock in the development of novel therapeutic agents, and represents a major challenge for eye care practitioners.
