Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes is a complex disease characterized by the elevation of plasma glucose levels, caused by impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance or a combination of both factors. The disease is highly heterogeneous and currently divided into types and subtypes. These include the most prevalent type of diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes (T2D), which accounts for over 90% of all diabetes cases, as well as type 1 diabetes (T1D), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and other, more specific types such as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), and neonatal diabetes. Current strategies to treat diabetes include reducing insulin resistance using glitazones, supplementing insulin supplies with exogenous insulin, increasing endogenous insulin production with sulfonylureas and meglitinides, reducing hepatic glucose production through biguanides, and limiting postprandial glucose.
IJMS has organized a series of Special Issues to highlight the latest advancements in this field of science to ensure that it remains at the forefront of this area of research. This initiative, led by Dr. Madalina Musat, will focus on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of diabetes.
The present Special Issue, entitled “Diabetes: From Molecular Basis to Therapy”, will present recent research developments to the wider community. We welcome contributions from scholars who work in the field of diabetes.

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.
