Abstract
This issue of the Biomedical Journal features a special section on extracellular vesicles (EVs), covering their role in neurological diseases, viral infections, trogocytosis, allogeneic organ rejection and tolerance, as well as EV biodistribution. Two articles explore the mechanisms of Parkinson's disease, focusing on white matter and exosomes. This journal issue also examines polyomavirus-induced damage in renal transplant grafts, proposes a miRNA signature as a diagnostic biomarker for Kawasaki disease, discusses neural gating and associated brain wave alterations, and further clarifies the relationship between gut microbiota and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Additionally, the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring is reaffirmed.
期刊介绍：
Biomedical Journal publishes 6 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of clinical and biomedical sciences for an internationally diverse authorship. Unlike most open access journals, which are free to readers but not authors, Biomedical Journal does not charge for subscription, submission, processing or publication of manuscripts, nor for color reproduction of photographs.
Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials, biomarker studies, and characterization of human pathogens are within the scope of the journal, as well as basic studies in model species such as Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and Mus musculus revealing the function of molecules, cells, and tissues relevant for human health. However, articles on other species can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of biology.
A highly-cited international editorial board assures timely publication of manuscripts. Reviews on recent progress in biomedical sciences are commissioned by the editors.
