Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Migraine is the most common headache in medical care units and the most studied headache type. Its pathophysiology still needs to be completed despite the recently discovered mechanisms. The improvement in the knowledge of migraine pathophysiology has permitted the development of new possible specific-target therapies, which may result in more effective outcomes for patients.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences aims to provide an advanced forum for molecular biology studies, reporting on recent advances in migraine treatment regarding molecular mechanisms.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute your studies and research in order to advance the understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of migraine and its implication in its treatment.
Original studies regarding CGRP, PACAP, TRP-ion channels, and 5-HT molecular mechanisms and their involvement in migraine treatment are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Fabiola Dach
Guest Editor
