Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin diseases, characterized by complex interactions between genetic predisposition, epidermal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and environmental factors. Despite significant therapeutic advances in recent years, including biologics and small-molecule inhibitors, significant heterogeneity persists in disease manifestations, treatment responses, and long-term outcomes.
The molecular understanding of AD continues to evolve rapidly, supported by progress in immunology, multi-omics profiling, neuroimmune research, and microbiome science. These breakthroughs are enabling the development of precision medicine strategies, the identification of new biomarkers, the stratification of clinical phenotypes, and the unveiling of novel therapeutic targets.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality contributions focused on the latest progress in atopic dermatitis research, spanning fundamental mechanisms, translational science, and clinical innovation. Submissions exploring immunopathology, skin barrier biology, neuroimmune signaling, microbiome interactions, therapeutic targets, biomarkers, and personalized treatment approaches are particularly encouraged. Studies on pediatric vs. adult AD, disease endotypes, and predictors of therapeutic response are also welcome.
We invite research articles and review papers that advance the understanding and management of atopic dermatitis.
Prof. Dr. Mihail Virgil Boldeanu

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
