Drug Candidates for Inflammatory Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Inflammation represents the hallmark of diverse acute and chronic diseases. Multiple molecular pathways are known, and a multitude of therapeutic substance classes are described. However, the complex immune response and its dysregulation in inflammation still presents a challenge for the pharmacological treatment of such conditions. Therefore, there is an unmet need for new drug candidates for inflammatory diseases. Potential new approaches include small molecules, phytochemicals, liposomal formulations or nanomedicine.

This Special Issue of Molecules invites contributions from all scientific fields that are connected to drug research for inflammatory diseases and will provide a forum for the exchange of new concepts and original results from in vitro to in vivo studies.
