Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNA, are involved in various physiologic and pathologic processes, such as differentiation, development, inflammation, immune response, and cancer. Recently, emerging evidence show that miRNA in extracellular vesicle (EV) participates in transcriptional regulation through various pathways to promote or reduce the inflammatory response. However, the possible mechanisms that EV-miRNAs affect inflammation is still to be elucidated. In this special issue, we will focus on the role of extracellular miRNAs in controlling pivotal biological mechanisms that lead to pro-/anti-inflammatory effect, inflammatory cytokines regulation, inflammasome activation, immune cell responses, as well as various inflammation-related diseases. We invite authors in this exciting field to submit original research and review manuscripts to discuss the mechanisms of extracellular microRNAs on inflammation.

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.
