Molecular Mechanisms and Cell Biology of Pancreatic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

The pancreas, a crucial organ, regulates blood sugar levels and secretes digestive enzymes. Dysfunction can cause diverse diseases, impacting public health. Understanding pancreatic diseases at the cellular and molecular levels is key for effective diagnosis and treatment.

Research in this field has far-reaching applications. Genetic studies identify personalized medicine targets, enabling precision-based strategies. Animal models provide insights into disease mechanisms and novel drug evaluations. Cell signaling and transcription factor regulations pave the way for novel therapies.

We invite scholars in the field to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting their latest research on the molecular mechanisms, cell function, and disease progression of pancreatic diseases.

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.
