Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current molecular research on skin diseases is paving the way for significant advancements in the understanding and treatment of various dermatological conditions. Scientists and researchers work to understand the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying skin diseases, ranging from common ailments such as acne and eczema to more severe conditions such as psoriasis and melanoma. Additionally, molecular research has shed light on the immunological aspects of skin diseases. Inflammatory cytokines, signaling pathways, and immune cell interactions are being studied to decipher the mechanisms underlying conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and blistering autoimmune diseases. This knowledge has resulted in developing targeted biological therapies that specifically modulate these immune pathways, providing patients with effective treatment options.
Moreover, advances in molecular techniques have enabled researchers to examine individual cell types within the skin, resulting in a more nuanced understanding of cellular heterogeneity and disease-specific alterations. These insights are instrumental in identifying new therapeutic targets and developing personalized treatment strategies.
The COVID-19 pandemic also revolutionized the management of several dermatoses.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current molecular research on skin diseases in order to highlight the importance of a personalized approach.

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.
