Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged society worldwide. The large number of patients admitted to the hospital in a short time, the pathology and nonspecific symptoms of a new disease, and lack of protocols and treatments significantly hindered the activity of the medical system and its staff. Shortly after the identification of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, researchers around the world began attempting to identify and report the virus’ mechanisms of action, drug interactions, and molecular and epigenetic expressions. They also tried to identify therapeutic solutions to limit viral activity and its associated clinical effects.
The specific SARS-Cov-2 changes at the respiratory level, but also at the systemic inflammatory level, led to the rapid deterioration of patients’ clinical status, often rendering classical methods of mechanical ventilation ineffective.
An intensely studied field during this period was the expression of microRNA species, which contributed both to faster detection of the virus and to the development of new therapeutic technologies specific to these patients.
We invite you to submit this Special Issue, which aims to integrate new information on the topic, seeking fresh perspectives on the molecular and cellular changes induced by SARS-Cov-2, epigenetic expression of COVID-19 patients, expression of microRNAs in connection with SARS-Cov-2, virus detection methods, the clinically impact of SARS-Cov-2, new therapeutic methods, the impact of vaccination, etc.
Your research can include in vitro or in vivo studies or review articles on the following topics:
- MicroRNAs expression in COVID-19;
- New SARS-CoV-2 detection methods;
- New and specific therapeutic methods in COVID-19;
- Molecular and cellular changes induced by SARS-Cov-2;
- Expression of the inflammatory profile in COVID-19;
- Oxidative stress activity in patients infected with SARS-Cov-2;
- Mechanical ventilation models;
- Expression of mitochondrial activity in COVID-19;
- Changes in molecular and cellular pathways in the respiratory tract;
- Changes in molecular and cellular pathways in the nervous system;
- Sepsis and systemic inflammation syndrome;
- Histopathological analyses of COVID-19 patients.
We are looking forward to your contribution.

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.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
