Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Itching is a very common symptom and a condition that worsens people's quality of life. Itching occurs in many cutaneous diseases. Moreover, it can also be triggered by various systemic diseases or external irritants. This Special Issue introduces experimental and clinical studies on the molecular, biological, and immunological mechanisms as well as the neurological mechanisms, involving both central and peripheral pathways, of itching. In addition, recent studies of new topical and systemic therapeutics based on the pathophysiology of itch will be presented.
