FEBS Letters Molecular Medicine Virtual Special IssueFEBS Letters is proud to launch a new series of Virtual Special Issues which will highlight a collection of outstanding articles recently published in the journal, focusing on a selection of topics that we hope will be of general interest to our readers. The first of the series is a Virtual Special Issue on Molecular Medicine. The topic is deliberately broad, as we believe that this diversity is the strength of our journal, and will be appreciated by scientists from all fields. Molecular Medicine is a discipline in which modern biochemical research approaches are applied to understand the molecular mechanisms at the base of disease. Every scientific publication in the field of Molecular Medicine is a tiny, but indispensable, piece of the puzzle that must be completed in order to cure diseases. Here, we are presenting articles on pathologies ranging from Alzheimer's disease to cystic fibrosis, and have grouped them according to the major organs of the human body that they affect. In this issue you can find out how Wnt signalling can promote hepatic fibrosis by enhancing hepatic stellate cell activation and survival, or how an optineurin mutant can cause a familial form of glaucoma by over-interacting with TBK1. Are you aware that urine is a possible source of prion transmission? Do you know how activated macrophages can induce proteinuria in glomerular diseases? Find these and many other interesting articles in the FEBS Letters Molecular Medicine Virtual Special Issue. We wish you a pleasant and fruitful read! |  |
