Cellular and Molecular Targets of Preeclampsia

Dear Colleagues,

Preeclampsia remains one of the most important diseases in perinatology. Although the cause of the disease has long been unknown, tireless efforts carried out by researchers have made a steady progress in relation to etiology and prevention. Of those, the use of low-dose aspirin (used for the prevention of preterm preeclampsia) represents a milestone. However, numerous aspects of preeclampsia remain unknown, necessitating further research. In this Special Issue, we invite a wide range of contributions associated with preeclampsia, with a primary focus on the molecular level and basic research. We also welcome translational research. We hope that this project will serve as a valuable contribution to the advances within the field of preeclampsia.

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.
