Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autoimmune diseases, which develop as a result of immune system dysregulation, are a significant health challenge. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research on the molecular pathways, genetic and epigenetic factors, immune signalling, and novel molecular biomarkers involved in autoimmunity. We welcome submissions that explore these molecular aspects, providing insights into the pathogenesis of disease and potential therapeutic targets. By focusing on the molecular mechanisms, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of autoimmune diseases and inspire innovative approaches to treatment and diagnosis, offering hope for the development of new more effective treatments.
Dr. Tsvetelina Velikova

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. 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.
