Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynaecological diseases are a heterogeneous group of conditions of the female reproductive tract, including malignancies, benign tumors, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual disorders, and others. It should be highlighted that they are not only the leading cause of women's mortality worldwide but also lead to significant deterioration in quality of life. Despite the development of new tools in the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological diseases, the prognosis for patients remains poor, especially in ovarian cancer. In both early diagnosis and the treatment of gynaecological pathologies, it is necessary to investigate the molecular background to deepen the current knowledge and understanding of cellular interactions, including immune checkpoints (PD-1/PD-L1, TIGIT/CD155/DNAM-1, TIM-3/Gal-9 pathways etc.). Molecular profiling, including genomic profiling, microsatellite instability status, tumor mutational burden, immune/molecular biomarkers, and microRNAs, is also predominant for clinical management. The projecting of molecular and cellular biomarkers may lead to implementing molecular medicine in routine clinical practice to improve the outcomes and quality of life of gynecological patients. The goal of this Special Issue, “Gynecological diseases in cellular and molecular perspectives”, is to contribute to understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis and progression of diseases of the female reproductive tract. All manuscripts will be published with the highest standards in publication ethics.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
