Inositol in Translational Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, the use of inositols has received significant attention from the medical and scientific community due to their proven efficacy as preventive and adjuvant therapy for a plethora of clinical conditions.

As the research continuously provides evidence on the molecular mechanisms that underlie the observed clinical effects, it is becoming increasingly clear that Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol possess distinct and very peculiar physiological roles. The most recent literature demonstrates that the supplementation with either isomers or the combination of the two should be heavily tailored to a patient’s specific needs.

Combining laboratory discoveries, empirical observations, and a patient’s clinical condition is pivotal to providing the most effective inositol therapy.

This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, short communications, reviews, and commentaries related to the biomolecular properties of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol or their application in all clinical fields. Pure clinical trials fall outside the scope of IJMS, but the submission of clinical reports is highly recommended if they are properly supported by molecular investigations.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
