Objective: Blood-based biomarkers and neuroimaging techniques have improved our understanding of the underlying biology of eating disorders (EDs) and have increased our diagnostic portfolio.
Method: This editorial accompanies an article collection on novel biological approaches to treat EDs.
Results: The collection covers intermittent theta burst stimulation, therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacological treatments (olanzapine, metreleptin, psychedelics, and anti-inflammatory medications), microbiome-based treatments such as pro- and prebiotics, as well as individually tailored treatment approaches for EDs.
Discussion: Research of brain areas and bodily systems that are related to memory, emotions and immune function will hopefully expand the biological treatment options for people with EDs.
