Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of the first edition of our Special Issue, titled “Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Gynecological Disorders”, we are pleased to announce the launch of its second edition. The strong interest and valuable contributions from researchers worldwide underscored the critical need to continue exploring the complex pathogenesis of gynecological disorders at the cellular and molecular levels.
Gynecological disorders encompass a broad spectrum of conditions affecting the female reproductive system, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. These disorders carry a significant burden on women's health and quality of life and contribute substantially to public health and healthcare costs globally. Despite ongoing research, the underlying causes and mechanisms remain poorly understood in many cases.
This second edition continues to focus on elucidating the cellular and molecular basis of gynecological diseases. We aim to highlight recent advances and encourage the submission of high-quality research and comprehensive reviews addressing key biological pathways, molecular targets, genomics, epigenomics, cell-type specificity, and systems-level analysis in these conditions.
We welcome submissions related to a wide range of gynecological disorders, including, but not limited to, the following: uterine diseases (adenomyosis, endometriosis, endometrial cancer, leiomyosarcoma, and uterine fibroids), ovary-related diseases (ovarian cancer, ovarian torsion, primary ovarian insufficiency, and polycystic ovary syndrome), and other conditions (infertility, breast cancer, and cervical and vaginal diseases).
Both basic and translational research studies are encouraged, with an emphasis on those offering insights into novel therapeutic targets or diagnostic biomarkers.
We look forward to your contributions and to advancing our understanding of women’s reproductive health through this collaborative effort.
Dr. Qiwei Yang
Guest Editor
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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
