Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in innovative drugs for skin disease treatments.
Because it interfaces with the environment, skin plays a key role in protecting the body against pathogens and excessive water loss. Skin is also important for insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, synthesis of vitamin D, and the protection of vitamin B folates. Severely damaged skin, for exogenous or endogenous reasons, needs to be treated for the restoration of its functions.
Currently, there are several treatments for the treatment of skin diseases. In this Special Issue, the focus is on innovative treatments and on the correct comparison and/or evaluation of treatments, emphasizing the type of clinical trial or observational or prospective study used. Both in vitro and computational studies will be accepted.
The Special Issue will publish full research articles and systematic reviews that reflect current best practice in new drug candidates for the treatment of skin diseases.
