Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-coding RNAs have emerged as pivotal molecular regulators in numerous biological processes, fundamentally altering our understanding of the complexities within the central dogma of biology. This Special Issue, “Non-Coding RNAs in Health and Disease”, aims to explore the multifaceted roles of non-coding RNAs, encompassing microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), circular RNAs (circRNAs), and others, in orchestrating cellular functions, disease progression, and the maintenance of health. The collection of articles, reviews, and research papers presented in this issue delves into the latest discoveries and innovative approaches in non-coding RNA research, highlighting their significance in gene expression regulation, epigenetic modifications, and their potential as therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers.
This Special Issue will provide insightful analyses on the mechanisms by which non-coding RNAs influence disease pathogenesis, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and more, offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in the field. Additionally, this issue will explore the therapeutic potential of non-coding RNAs, examining the challenges and opportunities in harnessing these molecules for clinical applications. By bridging fundamental research and clinical practice, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the translation of non-coding RNA research into tangible health benefits, underscoring the importance of non-coding RNAs in the intricate landscape of health and disease.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
