New Insights into the Molecular Mechanisms of Myopia and Glaucoma

Dear Colleagues, 

This Special Issue aims to provide readers on insights into the genetics, i.e., cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate experimental myopia and glaucoma, based on evidence gathered using in vitro and in vivo models.

Myopia and glaucoma represent heterogeneous groups of diseases that progressively damage many types of eye tissues and cells, leading to visual impairment and blindness. Several experimental models and experimental tools have been used to understand molecular mechanisms and biomechanical damage to the myopic and glaucomatous eye.

However, the etiology of myopia and glaucoma is still largely unknown. New reports and evidence aim to introduce these new insights into the molecular mechanisms of myopia and glaucoma, as well as hopefully improve therapy in the future.

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-anonymized 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.
