Abstract
Prostaglandin (PG) D2, the major cyclooxygenase metabolite generated from immunologically stimulated mast cells, is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic diseases due to its various inflammatory effects. However, the lack of PGD2 (DP) receptor antagonists has limited the study of its essential roles in the disease state. Recent discoveries of several DP receptor antagonists, the development of the mutant mouse and the discovery of a second PGD2 receptor, CRTH2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologousmolecule expressed on Th2 cells) receptor, have revealed the crucial roles of PGD2 and CRTH2 receptors in allergic disorders. This review presents biological evidence that PGD2 plays an essential role in allergy disorders and discusses the therapeutic possibilities of recently reported PGD2 antagonists.

Advances in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This thematic issue will emphasize the recent breakthroughs in the mechanisms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and devotes some understanding of both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. It is expected to include studies about cellular and genetic aspects, which help to precipitate the disease, and the immune system-gut microbiome relations ...read more
Blood-based biomarkers in large-scale screening for neurodegenerative diseases
Disease biomarkers are necessary tools that can be employ in several clinical context of use (COU), ranging from the (early) diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, to monitor of disease state and/or drug efficacy. Regarding neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a battery of well-validated biomarkers are available, such as cerebrospinal fluid ...read more
