Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation participates in hosts’ defenses against infectious agents and injury, but it also contributes to the pathophysiology of many chronic diseases, ranging from cancer to biomechanical injuries and from chronic to acute disorders. For this reason, the discovery of new, inflammation-linked biomarkers is the goal of many studies focused on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic approaches of inflammation-associated comorbidities. The intention of this Special Issue is to present research papers and reviews focused on new biomarkers of inflammation-associated disorders, which highlight their molecular mechanisms during the onset and progression of pathological states such as cancer, immune diseases, cardiovascular-associated disorders, metabolic diseases, and all other pathological states linked to inflammation. This knowledge should facilitate the development of novel strategies to predict disease susceptibility, target and monitor therapies and, ultimately, develop new approaches to the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with inflammation.

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.
