New Insights into Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutics for Malaria

Dear Colleagues,

Malaria remains a serious global health challenge, affecting millions of lives each year. To address this urgent issue, we present a Special Issue dedicated to "New Insights into Mechanisms and Therapeutics for Malaria."

Despite significant progress, the battle against malaria is far from over. The emergence of drug resistance, the complex biology of the malaria parasite and the limited portfolio of drugs available to treat malaria urge for alternative perspectives and innovative solutions.

This Special Issue focuses on providing a platform for the two types of research approach, clinical and laboratory research, offering a deep dive into the mechanisms driving malaria drug resistance, the mode of action of drugs and novel therapeutic approaches.

We aim to bring a collection of articles by experts from around the world, inspiring researchers and policymakers to explore new avenues in diagnostics, treatment, and prevention. By sharing these insights, we aspire to help accelerate the development of more effective therapies and ultimately contribute to efforts to achieve global malaria eradication.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
