Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on molecular and omics-driven approaches in toxicology and precision pharmacology, aiming to bridge experimental, clinical, and translational research. It will highlight in vivo and in vitro studies, clinical investigations, case reports, original research articles, and critical reviews that integrate proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and systems biology to elucidate toxicological and pharmacological responses. Particular emphasis is placed on studies addressing modes of action (MoA) as the pathophysiological basis of toxic responses, as well as mechanisms of activity of drugs and toxicants at the cellular and molecular levels and their integration into systemic, organ-specific or multi-organ responses. The Special Issue welcomes contributions on precision pharmacology, including dose optimization, interindividual variability, oncology-related pharmacology, antidotes, and supportive therapies in toxicological settings. Additionally, studies on toxicological mixtures, biomarkers of effect and susceptibility versus exposure, and predictive and modeling approaches, including data-driven and integrative methods, are encouraged. Overall, this Special Issue aims to advance mechanistic understanding and improve translational relevance for human health risk assessment and therapeutic decision-making.

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-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.
