Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in kidney development, influencing gene expression patterns without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Advancements in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell epigenomics have provided deeper insights into the dynamic epigenetic landscapes during kidney development. These technologies enable the characterization of gene expression and epigenetic modifications at a single-cell resolution, facilitating the identification of distinct cell populations and their developmental trajectories. Such detailed mapping is essential for understanding how epigenetic dysregulation may lead to developmental abnormalities and for developing targeted therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue, entitled "Epigenetic Regulation of Kidney Development", aims to compile recent studies on how epigenetic mechanisms impact kidney formation and associated pathologies.

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.
