Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Concerning the post-COVID patients, personalized medicine is of significant medical interest. The identification of biomarkers that could guide the personalized approach of these patients could allow for the identification of the most effective diagnosis and treatment methods.

The Special Issue entitled "Personalized Medicine in Post-COVID-19 Era" of the Journal of Personalized Medicine will highlight the importance of understanding the main factors that influence individual responses to the virus and lead to more targeted and effective treatment strategies. In addition, it will focus on why certain individuals are more prone to long COVID and how to manage their symptoms more effectively. We hope that research tools such as proteomics, genomics, metabolomics and epigenomics will allow for the identification of guidelines for a personalized approach, and could help identify the patients who may need alternative vaccination strategies. Personalized medicine can help in identifying existing drugs that may be more effective for certain subgroups of COVID-19 patients, leading to potential drug repurposing for better outcomes. It is important to note that the field of personalized medicine is continuously evolving, and new research and developments are likely to emerge as more data are collected and analyzed.

Viral infections have always been considered a threat to global health, with numerous outbreaks across time. Despite the relative recent experience with coronavirus-associated diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome-2’s (SARS-CoV-2) continuous evolution displays a different behavior. With a tropism for both respiratory and digestive mucosa, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) seem to share a particular common background. Current literature offers evidence that viral alteration of the immune system, inflammatory intestinal tissue damage, increased intestinal permeability, incomplete viral clearance with viral antigen persistence, and intestinal dysbiosis, might explain SARS-CoV-2–IBD relationship in terms of etiopathogenesis and evolution. The hyperinflammatory state that both entities have in common explains the lack of success of current IBD therapy, raising the need for new personalized therapeutic options, with better outcomes for IBD and COVID-19 as well. This review aims to summarize the current available data on pediatric IBD evolution, management, and outcomes in the post-COVID period, with an emphasis on the particular aspects of the SARS-CoV-2–IBD relationship in children.

Pulmonary fibrosis, a critical outcome of chronic inflammatory diseases, has gained prominence in the context of post-coronavirus (post-COVID-19) complications. This review delves into the multifaceted landscape of post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis, elucidating the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis and highlighting promising therapeutic avenues. Examining the aftermath of severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the review reveals key signaling pathways implicated in the fibrotic cascade. Drawing parallels with previous coronavirus outbreaks enhances our understanding of the distinctive features of post-COVID-19 fibrosis. Antifibrotic drugs, like pirfenidone and nintedanib, take center stage; their mechanisms of action and potential applications in post-COVID-19 cases are thoroughly explored. Beyond the established treatments, this review investigates emerging therapeutic modalities, including anti-interleukin agents, immunosuppressants, and experimental compounds, like buloxybutide, saracatinib, sirolimus, and resveratrol. Emphasizing the critical importance of early intervention, this review highlights the dynamic nature of post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis research. In conclusion, the synthesis of current knowledge offers a foundation for advancing our approaches to the prevention and treatment of these consequential sequelae of COVID-19. Full article
