Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators in a wide array of biological processes, playing crucial roles in gene expression, cellular development, and disease pathogenesis. This Special Issue, titled “MicroRNAs in Precision Medicine: Regulation, Biomarkers and Novel Therapeutics,” aims to compile cutting-edge research that explores the multifaceted roles of miRNAs in various diseases, from cancer and cardiovascular disorders to neurodegenerative and infectious diseases.

Key topics include the regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in cellular pathways, their potential as biomarkers for early disease detection, and innovative therapeutic strategies targeting miRNAs. Recent advancements in omics technologies and bioinformatics have significantly enhanced our understanding of miRNA functions and their interactions with other cellular components. These insights are crucial for developing novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions.

We invite original research articles and reviews that provide novel insights into the roles of miRNAs in disease mechanisms, their use as biomarkers, and the development of miRNA-based therapies. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches, we aim to advance our understanding of miRNAs and their potential applications in clinical settings. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and clinicians to share their latest findings and innovative strategies, fostering a collaborative environment dedicated to advancing the field of molecular biology and medicine.

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.
