Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) represent significant global health burdens, with rising prevalence and limited therapeutic options. Advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying kidney diseases, along with the development of innovative therapies, are critical to improving patient outcomes. This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research in nephrology, focusing on mechanistic insights and emerging treatments that could transform clinical practice.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile high-quality research and reviews on the pathophysiology of kidney diseases and novel therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological, cellular, and technological innovations. This topic aligns with the journal’s scope of publishing impactful translational and clinical research in nephrology. We encourage submissions that explore molecular pathways, biomarkers, drug discovery, and regenerative approaches to address unmet needs in kidney care.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Molecular mechanisms of kidney injury and repair.
- Novel biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis.
- Pharmacological and biotechnological therapies for CKD and AKI.
- Advances in dialysis and kidney transplantation.
- Stem cell and regenerative medicine applications in nephrology.
- Precision medicine and personalized treatment approaches.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
