Molecular Research of Ocular Pathologies, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue entitled “Molecular Research of Ocular Pathology”.

The eye is a very complex organ with several different tissues and structures connecting them. The eye’s function is to take the light from the environment, transform it into electrical signals, and send them to the brain for creating images. Molecular research regarding the eye is currently critical in better understanding the mechanisms of ocular pathologies and, in turn, in creating better diagnosis tools as new biomarkers or improving the treatment efficacy via the use of new molecules, which may reach the tissue target much easier. This Special Issue aims to present original research and review articles that summarize state-of-the-art developments, that attempt to answer some crucial questions, and that cover current aspects that focus on diagnosis, treatment, or biochemistry pathways in ocular pathologies, such as dry eye, glaucoma, or retinal diseases.

On behalf of the International Journal of Molecular Science editorial office, we invite you to contribute your review articles and research papers concerning “Molecular research in ocular pathologies” for peer review and possible publication.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
