Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune diseases represent a significant health burden worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and presenting diverse clinical manifestations. Recent advances in molecular biology have provided deeper insights into the pathogenesis of these diseases, uncovering the intricate interplay between genetic, environmental and immunological factors. Despite these advancements, the precise molecular mechanisms driving the onset and progression of autoimmune disorders remain incompletely understood. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research findings in this field. We invite contributions that shed light on the molecular underpinnings of autoimmune disease pathogenesis, including the identification of novel molecular targets, signaling pathways and genetic determinants. The goal is to enhance our understanding of these complex diseases, paving the way for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and improved patient outcomes. We welcome original research articles, reviews and case studies that address these critical aspects and contribute to the broader knowledge base of autoimmune disease research.

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.
