Novel Psychiatric Classifications: Challenges, Controversies, and Future Directions

Psychiatric classification systems are at a pivotal crossroads. While traditional taxonomies like the DSM and ICD have provided essential frameworks for diagnosing mental disorders, they have also faced longstanding critiques related to their validity. This special issue, Novel Psychiatric Classifications: Challenges, Controversies, and Future Directions, seeks to explore innovative paradigms in psychiatric nosology. We invite scholars, clinicians, and interdisciplinary researchers to contribute cutting-edge research, theoretical papers, and critical perspectives that address emerging trends and foundational... see more

PD-1 Inhibitors in Neuroprotection: Modulating Neurotransmitter Pathways for Therapy

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors, widely recognized for their role in immunotherapy, have recently emerged as potential neuroprotective agents. Beyond their traditional application in oncology, PD-1 inhibitors influence neuroimmune interactions, impacting neurotransmitter pathways critical for maintaining brain homeostasis. Dysregulation of these pathways is implicated in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression. By modulating immune responses, PD-1 blockade may reduce neuroinflammation, enhance neuronal survival, and restore neurotransmitter balance. Recent studies... see more

Breakthroughs in Drug Design, Development and Delivery System for the Management of Neuro-Psychiatric Disorders

Neuropsychiatric diseases are one of the main causes of disability, affecting millions of people. Various drugs are used for its treatment, although no effective therapy has been found yet. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) significantly complicates drug delivery to the target cells in the brain tissues. This proposal describes the current pharmacotherapeutic approaches to treating mental illnesses as well as drug delivery approaches that have improved existing therapies. Approaches to improve drug bioavailability, provide controlled release... see more
