Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets in Skin Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, significant strides have been made in the development of novel therapeutic modalities for the treatment of various skin diseases, particularly within the realm of biologics. Despite these advancements, a deep comprehension of the molecular pathogenesis of numerous conditions remains imperative to pave the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.

Skin diseases can result from genetic predispositions, environmental factors, immune dysregulation, or a combination of these factors. By studying the molecular mechanisms involved in these diseases, researchers aim to unravel the intricate cellular processes contributing to their development, progression, and symptom manifestation. One of the paramount challenges in contemporary dermatology lies in the intricate interplay between skin diseases and comorbidities. Comprehensive investigations are warranted to elucidate these complex relationships and, subsequently, inform targeted therapeutic interventions.

In light of these critical areas, researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit manuscripts covering, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Molecular pathogenesis of skin diseases for the development of advanced therapeutic approaches.
• The intricate connections between inflammatory skin lesions and systemic comorbidities.

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.
