Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is critically involved in host defenses against infectious agents and injury, but it also helps reduce damage to the body in many diseases, from viral infections and cancer to acute and chronic injury. Therefore, the discovery of inflammation-related biomarkers is the goal of many studies focused on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of inflammation-related comorbidities. This Special Issue aims to publish research papers and reviews concerning biomarkers of inflammation-related diseases, with a focus on the occurrence and progress of Chinese herbal medicines, foods and active ingredients in pathological conditions such as cancer, immune diseases, viral infections, cardiovascular-related diseases, etc. The molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases and all other pathological states associated with inflammation are also of interest. In addition, an association with inflammation has also been found in infectious diseases such as COVID-19. This knowledge should facilitate the development of strategies to predict disease susceptibility, target and monitor treatments and ultimately develop new approaches to prevent and treat diseases associated with inflammatory states.
