Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the critical role of RNA modifications in response to physical activity and their implications for rehabilitation. It is known that physical activity can modulate several genes, playing a specific role in various diseases, including cancer. Additionally, physical activity can also modulate non-coding RNAs, such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). These RNA molecules regulate gene expression and influence processes such as muscle adaptation, inflammation, tissue repair, and metabolic pathways. Emerging research demonstrates that physical exercise can alter the expression of specific genes and ncRNAs, potentially enhancing muscle regeneration, reducing inflammation, and improving overall recovery following injury. This collection of studies delves into how RNA modulation through exercise can be harnessed to optimize rehabilitation protocols, enhance athletic performance, and aid in chronic disease management. By integrating molecular insights with clinical practice, this issue highlights innovative approaches to personalized medicine in rehabilitation and sports science.

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.
