New Therapeutic Targets in Tissue-Specific Manifestations of Type 2 Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a growing global pandemic, and projections concerning its prevalence are pessimistic. It is closely related to micro- and macrovascular complications, which augment overall morbidity and mortality, while also affecting patients’ quality of life. In addition to classic diabetic complications, type 2 diabetes mellitus is also interconnected with several other diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. There is increasing evidence regarding the tissue-specific manifestations of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of the present Special Issue is to highlight new research on tissue-specific manifestations of type 2 diabetes mellitus, from pathogenesis to treatment, along with narrative and systematic reviews summarizing relevant evidence published so far. We welcome original articles, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
