Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vitamin D is widely recognized for its role in bone health and calcium regulation. Recent research shows that vitamin D’s molecular mechanisms also influence many pathophysiological processes in human diseases. Studies indicate that vitamin D may support immune responses, help prevent certain chronic disorders, and benefit overall well-being. As personalized medicine and preventive healthcare grow, new findings highlight vitamin D’s potential roles in immune function, cardiovascular health, metabolic pathways, and infection-related outcomes. Advances in research technology are further clarifying how vitamin D status affects cellular signaling, gene expression, and tissue-level pathology.
This Special Issue invites original research, reviews, meta-analyses, and expert opinions on vitamin D’s molecular, cellular, and pathological dimensions. We welcome submissions examining vitamin D’s mechanisms of action at the cellular and tissue levels, its roles in immune and cardiovascular systems, its metabolic and neurological functions, and its contributions to other organ-specific pathologies. We also encourage research on vitamin D deficiency patterns, as well as laboratory or clinical interventions grounded in disease-focused and translational studies.
By bringing together leading experts and new discoveries, we aim to deepen our understanding of vitamin D’s influence on pathogenesis, therapeutic strategies, and biomedical applications. We hope that these contributions will guide future investigations and inspire innovative collaborations in the field.

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.
