Menopause is an inevitable event in the life of women who live long enough to reach this milestone. The experience of menopause varies amongst individuals. Menopause has a negative impact on women's life and is associated with symptoms including vasomotor symptoms (VMS), such as hot flushes and night sweats, sleep disturbances and low mood. VMS are bothersome and may have a long duration. Menopause hormone therapy (MHT) is recommended in women with symptoms; however, its use is limited. The recent approval of fezolinetant offers a new therapeutic option for women who suffer from VMS and are unsuitable or averse to MHT. Fezolinetant is a precision drug as it targets the pathological mechanism of VMS showing some effect also on sleep disturbances. Given how variable the experience of menopause is, it is important to offer individualized treatment options to women who suffer from menopause-related symptoms and let them be part of the shared decision making.

Panic Disorder (PD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition characterized by recurrent episodes of acute severe anxiety. These episodes frequently present with symptoms that overlap with those of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as elevated blood pressure and chest pain. Despite the prevalence and impact of this comorbidity, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood and remain underexplored.

Endometriosis or its treatment in premenopausal women may lead to premature or early menopause.

Skin wound repair is critically regulated by peripheral nerves, whose injury or dysfunction represents a key factor impairing the healing of pathological wounds such as diabetic ulcers and deep burns. The mechanisms through which peripheral nerves participate in cutaneous wound healing primarily involve the modulation of immune responses, the regulation of stem cell niches, and the promotion of angiogenesis. Sensory neurons initiate and mediate essential local immune responses, contribute to the epidermal stem cell microenvironment, and support regenerative potential.
