Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Biomolecules, entitled "Molecular Mechanisms and Signaling Pathways in Autoimmune Diseases". Autoimmune diseases represent a significant challenge in modern medicine, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Understanding the intricate signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms involved is crucial for developing novel therapeutic strategies and improving patient outcomes. We welcome submissions that explore, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases;
- Novel signaling pathways involved in autoimmunity;
- Genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to autoimmune disorders;
- Biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of autoimmune diseases;
- Therapeutic targets and strategies for autoimmune diseases.
We encourage original research articles, reviews, and short communications that provide new insights into these areas. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of scientific contributions.
Dr. Daniele Saverino
Guest Editor
