Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue “Neuroimmunological Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapies”.
Over the last few years, extensive research has revealed many aspects of the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the pathology of neuroimmunological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, Mog-associated disease, and myasthenia gravis, as well as neuroinflammatory conditions attributed to therapeutic interventions such as checkpoint inhibitors. Following these discoveries, novel agents such as complement and fcrn inhibitors have been introduced in clinical practice, while others such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies are currently under investigation as potential therapeutic targets. Due to the rarity of some of these conditions, current research is focused on the discovery and implementation of biomarkers and digital tools that may help us identify these conditions as early as possible and predict disease course. In addition, more epidemiological data are needed in order to produce guidelines and health policies with regard to these conditions.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine seeks commentaries, original research, and reviews focusing on advances in the research, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of neuroimmunological disorders and aims to provide insights about advances in the research of underlying mechanisms, current prevalence and future treatment options in neuroimmunological and neuroinflammatory disorders.
