Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is a natural host response to tissue insult and injury. In addition to the benefits it provides, inflammation also plays a serious role in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases and conditions that affect horses, having deleterious effects on patient health and welfare. Researchers are continuously seeking new ways to understand, predict, prevent, mitigate and treat these inflammatory disorders in horses. This Special Issue seeks to provide new insights into and findings from the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of inflammatory conditions and diseases that impact the health and welfare of equids around the world.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Inflammatory cell signaling;
- Cellular mechanisms of inflammation;
- Novel biomarkers of inflammation;
- Impact of inflammation on disease outcomes;
- Clinical studies of inflammatory disorders;
- Novel treatment strategies.
