Recent Advances in Therapeutic Strategies for the Treatment of Pediatric Diseases
The eight publications in this Special Issue focus on advancing therapeutic strategies specifically tailored to pediatric patients. Despite addressing a wide range of conditions (including fungal infections, cancer, spinal muscular atrophy, sleep-disordered breathing, and drug-induced cardiotoxicity), they share a common goal: to improve the safety, efficacy, and personalization of pediatric therapies. Several studies highlight the importance of appropriate dosing, formulation stability, and bioavailability (e.g., fluconazole, AmBisome(R), and temozolomide), emphasizing the challenges of adapting adult medications for children and the need for age-specific drug testing to minimize the risks associated with off-label prescribing. Gene therapy and precision medicine also emerge as key themes, showcasing innovative therapeutic approaches. Finally, the Special Issue reflects a clear shift toward patient-centered care, promoting safer drug delivery, improved monitoring (e.g., through cardiotoxicity biomarkers), and more evidence-based treatment protocols for children. Collectively, these studies underscore the critical need to design and validate pediatric therapies based on the unique physiological and developmental characteristics of this population.

Dualistic Equilibrium in Neurotransmission and Beyond
How does the brain keep its chemical yin-yang balanced, and what happens when that homeostasis slips? This Reprint distills the Special Issue "Dualistic Equilibrium in Neurotransmission and Beyond: Unraveling the Pathophysiology and Unlocking Novel Therapeutic Targets in Neuropsychiatric Disorders" into a thematic tour of modern neurobiology. The opening editorial reframes depression, dementia and allied syndromes as failures of the excitation-inhibition handshake that spans synapse, glia, gut, and immune system. Eight peer-reviewed contributions then act as case studies of these balancing acts: resveratrol soft-modulates monoamine oxidase A; trace amine-associated receptors emerge as fast-acting antidepressant switches; cannabinoid-serotonin crosstalk times stress analgesia; orexin calibrates vigilance; developmental serotonin steers the gut-brain axis; network models expose schizophrenia symptom clusters; miR-200b-3p dampens neuroinflammation in ADHD; and plasma phospho-tau 217-231 forecasts cognitive decline. Each article pairs mechanistic depth with a translational horizon, from structure-guided drug design to multiplex biomarker panels ready for point-of-care testing. The collection also spotlights ethical dosing, sex-specific responses, and digital phenotyping, underscoring a precision-medicine future that treats circuits, not just chemicals. By weaving together pharmacology, multi-omics imaging, and patient-centric analytics, this Reprint offers a convergent neuropsychiatry roadmap that remains timely and actionable even after the submission portal has closed.

A World without Measles and Rubella
Measles and rubella continue to affect children worldwide, even though effective, safe, and inexpensive vaccines have been available for over 50 years. Although measles immunization is estimated to have prevented over 56 million childhood deaths since the year 2000, the residual annual burden of 136,216 measles deaths and 32,000 children born with congenital rubella syndrome is unacceptable. Eliminating measles and rubella worldwide is technically feasible, and every WHO region has set measles and rubella elimination targets. However, without a global target, regions are struggling with achieving and then sustaining measles/rubella elimination. Global measles/rubella-containing vaccination coverage stagnated at around 85% for over a decade before declining to lower levels in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many planned supplemental immunization activities intended to fill the immunity gaps were postponed or canceled during the pandemic. Additionally, nineteen countries have yet to introduce rubella-containing vaccines despite the overwhelming evidence of disease and economic burden, as well as ethical considerations.
New Advances in Neurosurgery

This Issue explores some of the challenges that neurosurgery is facing in recent years. Personalized neurosurgery, integrating AI and tailored strategies, marks the future of the field.
State of the Art in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery
Nowadays, biomaterials are widely used in medicine and the medical care fields, playing increasingly important roles due to their unique structure and excellent performance. In particular, biomedical materials exhibit good biocompatibility and biodegradability, which allow for their design in drug delivery to the human body.Biomedical materials as anticancer drug carriers can be implemented in targeted drug delivery in the human body, improve the utilization rate of the cancer drug effects, and largely reduce the side effects of anticancer drugs on normal human body cell tissue. In addition, the drug carrier can also effectively improve the properties and stability of anticancer drugs in tissues, enhance the slow release of drugs, and reduce the lack of drug use in the body. Moreover, advancements in biomaterials have improved the safety and efficacy of diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic approaches for various diseases. The structures and interactions between biomaterials and drugs can influence the pesticide effect and have the potential to affect cellular physiology due to the close relationship between biological systems and biomaterial features. Drug delivery systems can also provide novel solutions by developing desirable and ideal materials to control the physicochemical, biological, structural, and mechanical microenvironments for successful drug delivery.This Special Issue focuses on biomaterials, including, but not limited to, natural materials, composite materials, functionalized nanomaterials, hydrogels, etc., for different drug delivery applications.
Fractal and Fractional Analysis in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering
Over the past two decades, various signal and image analyses, as well as bioinformatics approaches, have had a significant impact on research in life sciences. Problems arising in medical and biological research depend on a multitude of system parameters, often in a nonlinear way; these problems can often be successfully addressed via the tools of complex system analysis. Fractal and fractional analysis, originally rooted in theoretical developments, has later been recognized as well-suited for analyzing problems that occur in nature. Due to the random multiplicative processes in an organism, influencing growth, differentiation, and function, structures can be described in terms of scaled copies of self-similar entities. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are increasingly being employed in combination with fractional calculus.This Special Issue Reprint offers an overview of state-of-the-art developments in the field of fractal and fractional-based methodologies as applied to the analysis and modeling of biological entities. Eight out of ten articles directly target cutting-edge medical problems. It is highly multidisciplinary and is expected to be of interest to researchers from the health sector, life sciences, and applied mathematics, as well as to readers with different academic or practical backgrounds.

Metabolic Features and Nutritional Interventions in Chronic Diseases
A growing body of research indicates an extensive metabolic dysfunction in a spectrum of chronic diseases, comprising aging, cancer, and diseases affecting the cardiovascular system, liver, and kidneys. The phenotypes associated with metabolic dysfunction vary depending on disease type and stage. In turn, the altered metabolism drives disease pathology. Consequently, the nutritional modulation of metabolic status in chronic disease is widely acknowledged to reduce disease incidence. For instance, tailored nutritional intervention in cancers with altered metabolism determines the improved therapeutic responses. Additionally, counteracting muscle loss and osteoporosis are clinical goals of nutritional support in an aged population. Mechanistically, bioactive nutrients or tailored nutritional regimen modulate metabolism through mitochondrial homeostasis, immuno-regulation, as well as epigenome regulation to impact disease progression. This reprint aims to be an interdisciplinary platform that covers (1) characterization of metabolic features and/or nutritional requirement in a certain type of chronic disease; (2) defining the effects and mechanism of a specific nutrient or nutritional intervention on metabolism; (3) development of new nutritional strategy that improves disease outcome by altering metabolism.
Morphofunctional Nutritional Assessment in Clinical Practice
The diagnosis of malnutrition is difficult because it does not depend only on weight at a given time, but also on its evolution and the underlying pathological situations. Therefore, the clinical use of body composition measurements is essential for adequate assessment of this malnutrition, especially in the evaluation of muscle mass and function. In this context, nutritional assessment can no longer be based on the determination of classical anthropometric measurements. The concept of morphofunctional nutritional assessment postulates that the diagnosis and monitoring of nutritional status must be carried out using techniques and biomarkers that determine the evaluation of intake, anthropometry, body composition, muscle strength, and function that include techniques such as bioelectrical impedance analysis or nutritional ultrasound, and new biological parameters too. This Special Issue aims to show the implementation of this new concept of nutritional evaluation in the management of patients and in clinical research in nutrition.

Effect of Nutrition on Maternal Health, Fetal Development and Perinatal Outcomes
It is evident that a multitude of lifestyle factors exert a considerable influence on the wellbeing of pregnant women and their foetuses. Of these factors, dietary behaviour is of particular significance. Despite the increased requirements for certain nutrients, such as iron and folic acid, during pregnancy, the fundamental principles of healthy eating remain consistent with those of the general population. A substantial body of research has established that an inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy exerts a detrimental effect on perinatal outcomes, including complications during childbirth and suboptimal foetal development. Furthermore, this inadequate intake poses risks to the long-term health of the offspring. It is imperative to ensure an adequate intake of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals in order to satisfy the needs of both the mother and the foetus.The developmental origin of health and disease (DOHaD) model hypothesises that the intrauterine environment can induce epigenetic modifications and alter gene expression patterns in the foetus. These alterations have the potential to render neonates and children susceptible to a range of diseases later in life. The formulation of national and international nutritional guidelines is meticulous, informed by robust evidence regarding the benefits of adequate nutrient consumption and the risks associated with deficiencies.
