Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is a complex process that is involved in many acute diseases, but especially in chronic diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis and others. There is a wide range of substances used to treat these pathologies, such as steroids, selective and non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors and targeted therapies. However, due to the problems presented by this class of drugs, innovation in this field is very interesting.
This Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences will focus on “New Advances in the Development of Anti-inflammatory Drugs”, including new insights into the design and discovery of anti-inflammatory drugs, their mechanisms of action at the molecular level, or improvements to existing drugs through nanotechnology.
