Blood-based biomarkers and neuroimaging have advanced understanding of the biology of eating disorders and expanded diagnostic options. This editorial introduces a collection on novel biological treatments, including intermittent theta burst stimulation, therapeutic drug monitoring, pharmacological treatments (olanzapine, metreleptin, psychedelics, anti-inflammatory medications), microbiome-based treatments like pro- and prebiotics, and individually tailored approaches. Research on brain areas and bodily systems linked to memory, emotions, and immune function may broaden biological treatment options for people with eating disorders.
