Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fibrosis and tissue remodeling are hallmarks of numerous chronic and progressive diseases affecting the lung, liver, kidney, heart, and other organs. Advances in molecular biology, omics technologies, and preclinical models have significantly expanded our understanding of the signaling networks, cellular crosstalk, and metabolic changes underlying fibrotic pathogenesis. Despite this progress, effective therapies remain limited, and a deeper mechanistic insight is crucial to guide the development of novel interventions. This Special Issue, ‘Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches in Fibrosis and Tissue Remodeling’, invites original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore fundamental pathways, emerging biomarkers, and innovative therapeutic strategies. Our aim is to foster interdisciplinary discussion and accelerate translation from bench to bedside in the fight against fibrotic diseases.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
