A noticeable increase in studies related to immunopharmacology, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases and cancer therapies, reflects a growing interest in targeting the immune system.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Herbal Medicines:
Research on traditional herbal remedies and their pharmacological effects has decreased, possibly due to a shift towards more evidence-based approaches and synthetic drug development. - Basic Mechanistic Studies:
There is a noticeable reduction in purely mechanistic studies without direct clinical implications, as the journal increasingly favors translational research that connects laboratory findings to clinical applications. - Pharmacogenomics in Rare Diseases:
Interest in pharmacogenomic studies specifically targeting rare diseases appears to be waning, possibly due to the complexity and limited patient populations for such studies. - Epidemiological Studies:
While still relevant, epidemiological studies focusing solely on drug utilization patterns without linking to physiological outcomes are less frequently published. - Animal Studies with Limited Clinical Relevance:
Research that does not translate well to human physiology or lacks clear clinical relevance is becoming less common as the journal emphasizes studies with direct implications for patient care.
