Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, new intriguing pathogenic pathways have emerged in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). Their knowledge allows for a better stratification of the disease phenotype and a prediction of response of targeted-specific treatments in this rare systemic connective tissue disease. The discovery of new pathogenic pathways has indeed revolutionized the SSc world and has led to the approval of the first targeted-oriented drugs in SSc.
In this Special Issue for IJMS, we will focus on the new insights in the pathogenesis and management of SSc, particularly at molecular research level. Our aim is to provide new evidence that will help to improve the therapeutic approach to this complex disease, moving towards precision medicine.
Research papers and up-to-date review articles are all welcome.

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.
