Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern molecular biology links gynecologic endocrinology, reproductive aging, and gynecologic malignancies. This Special Issue, “Molecular Biology of Gynecologic Health and Disease”, invites studies on how hormonal signaling, steroidogenesis, crosstalk, and epigenetic regulation shape ovarian and endometrial function, as well as the neuroendocrine control of reproduction across the lifespan in benign conditions and gynecologic cancers. We welcome work on the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis, ovarian reserve, and inflammatory or metabolic modulators of cycle regularity and fertility, including mechanisms revealed by systemic infections and gynecologic malignancies. Contributions exploring vascular remodeling, immune trafficking, and oxidative stress in benign disease, assisted reproduction, and gonadotoxicity are encouraged. We invite molecular investigations in gynecologic oncology addressing tumor genomes, microenvironmental signaling, endocrine responsiveness, and biomarkers that improve risk stratification and therapeutic selection. Submissions may include multi-omics approaches, functional models, hormonal profiling, and translational studies that connect molecular and endocrine pathways with fertility preservation, treatment toxicity mitigation, and long-term health outcomes.

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.
