Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin health is regulated by complex molecular pathways that preserve its structure and function while enabling responses to internal and external stressors. These pathways play pivotal roles in processes such as oxidative stress regulation, cytokine signaling, collagen metabolism, and immune responses, which are crucial in maintaining skin homeostasis. However, disruptions to these pathways can result in various skin conditions, including chronic inflammation, premature aging, and skin cancer.
This Special Issue will explore the molecular mechanisms underpinning skin health and disease, focusing on cutting-edge research in this field. A particular emphasis will be placed on the discovery of biomarkers and the development of innovative therapeutic strategies to elucidate the causes of skin diseases and identify potential treatments.
By addressing these critical topics, this Special Issue will provide novel insights into skin biology and facilitate the advancement of effective prevention and treatment approaches. We invite submissions spanning a wide range of research areas, from basic science to clinical applications, with the aim of fostering significant contributions to the study of skin health and disease.
Dr. Sullim Lee
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. 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.
