Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The urinary bladder functions as a temporary storage reservoir for urine. Primary disturbances of the bladder may stem from overactivity, underactivity, and interstitial cystitis. Alterations in neurourology and medication-related insults contribute to secondary bladder dysfunction. Despite the bothersome symptoms it may induce in patients, bladder dysfunction is frequently overlooked in clinical settings. In recent years, innovative treatments for bladder dysfunction, such as regenerative medicine, botulinum toxins, and nanoparticles, have garnered attention. Novel urinary biomarkers could facilitate disease screening and the discovery of new etiologies. In addition, the emerging insights into microbiota and the microbiome may contribute to the development of bladder dysfunction research. In this Special Issue, preclinical studies and molecular investigations in patients concerning this matter are welcome. We also invite scientists and physicians to publish their research on this subject, encompassing both pathology and treatment strategies.

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.
