Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Molecular Research on Type 1 Diabetes and Its Complications”. The prevalence of type 1 diabetes is steadily increasing, especially in developed countries. Despite significant improvements in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diabetes complications based on interdisciplinary diabetes care, its chronic complications in the form of microangiopathies and macroangiopathies are a major cause of disability and reduced quality of life. In addition, mortality in type 1 diabetes remains two to eight times higher than in the general population. The main causes of mortality are cardiovascular complications, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The pathophysiological and morphological basis for the development of diabetic complications remains unclear. Endothelial damage during hyperglycemia and persistent inflammation in the microcirculation are responsible for microangiopathies such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy or cutaneous angiopathy. Another factor that increases inflammation in type 1 diabetes is the autoimmune nature of the disease. Many studies are devoted to investigating the impact of gene polymorphisms on the development of diabetic complications and searching for potential treatments. Personalization of preventive and therapeutic interventions is important. Undoubtedly, the future of type 1 diabetes treatment is linked to regenerative medicine.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences focuses on the latest research on the pathogenesis, early diagnosis or treatment of type 1 diabetes and its complications with both conventional and innovative technologies. This Special Issue welcomes in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as original research and reviews.

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.
