Thyroid Disorders and Cancers: Molecular Mechanisms and Advanced Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

Thyroid disorders, such as autoimmune thyroid disease, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer (TC), are among the most common diseases in the general population, with a higher incidence in women. The prevention of disease is an ambitious target for clinicians and scientists, but it is not always feasible, mainly due to the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms not being entirely elucidated. Thus, understanding the relevant molecular mechanisms is crucial for proposing novel therapies that can overcome the current barriers to the prevention and treatment of thyroid disorders and thyroid cancer. Furthermore, standard treatment, also known as standard of care, may not be suitable or equally effective for every patient.

The aims of this Special Issue are as follows: (a) to highlight recent advances in molecular mechanisms of thyroid disorders and their potential therapeutic implications, and (b) to suggest new treatment strategies overcoming the limitations of current approaches.

The Special Issue will include original research, review articles, short communications, case reports and/or case series addressing the specific aims and objectives outlined.

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.
