    Many of the thousands of rare diseases lack effective treatments. However, economic and regulatory incentives, as well as advances in our understanding of disease aetiology, have encouraged increased investment in the development of drugs for rare diseases — orphan drugs. This special collection from Nature Reviews Drug Discoveryincludes articles that discuss the impact of orphan drug legislation in the United States and Europe, and that review recent therapeutic progress for two groups of rare diseases: neuromuscular disorders and myeloproliferative neoplasias.

    The rapid growth in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing the need for effective therapeutic interventions. However, although multiple classes of diabetes drugs are available, achieving long-term control of blood sugar is often a major challenge, in part owing to treatment-limiting adverse effects. With these challenges in mind, this special collection of articles from Nature Reviews Drug Discoveryfocuses on emerging therapeutic approaches and targets for type 2 diabetes.

    To highlight the problem of resistance to antimicrobials, Nature Reviews Microbiology presents a set of specially commissioned articles that focus on key issues in the field, including the role of antibiotic resistance in nature, how the spread of antimicrobial resistance could be limited and the pharmaceutical strategies that are used to overcome resistance to various classes of antimicrobials. The Focus issue is accompanied by a joint Web Focus with Nature Reviews Drug Discovery.
