Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in molecular techniques such as high-throughput and single-cell RNA sequencing, genetics, microbiomics, metabolomics, iPS cells, in combination with advanced retina imaging, Big Data, and advanced bioinformatics analysis-network medicine have introduced powerful new tools for novel frontiers in retinal research. These exciting new cutting-edge technologies were not available to most of us just a decade ago, but these new tools will lead to a new era of elucidating the molecular mechanisms of retinal disorders and discovery of new targets and therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight recent and novel frontiers in retinal research. In this Special Issue, we welcome original research or review articles on novel molecular biology methods and new techniques to verify the pathogenic mechanism of retinal disorders.
The relevant retinal diseases include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, central serous retinopathy, choroidal melanoma, retinoblastoma, retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, posterior uveitis, inherited retinal diseases, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, and retinal vein occlusion.

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.
