Pathology, Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatments for Gestational Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes mellitus that occurs during pregnancy and can have serious health consequences for both the mother and fetus. The prevalence of GDM is increasing worldwide, and it is estimated to affect around 16% of all pregnancies. This Special Issue of Biomedicines entitled "Advanced Research on Gestational Diabetes" aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field of GDM research. The scope of this Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including the epidemiology, pathophysiology and mechanisms, screening, diagnosis, management, and prevention of GDM. This Special Issue also emphasizes the significance of gene–environment interactions in relation to GDM, including factors such as ambient air pollution, toxicology and epigenetic mechanisms. Furthermore, the Special Issue also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for personalized management of GDM.
