Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Insulin Resistance
This special issue belongs to the section "Cellular Pathology".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Insulin resistance plays a major role in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms and identification of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets are critical for early diagnosis and treatment. This Special Issue, entitled "Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Insulin Resistance", will offer a platform to discuss the current progress in this area, with an emphasis on molecular, genetic, and biochemical markers for the prediction and monitoring of insulin resistance. Novel therapeutic approaches, including pharmacologic agents, lifestyle changes, and personalized medicine treatment, to manage insulin resistance and its complications will also be featured. This special seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of knowledge and avenues for future research in this rapidly evolving area.
