Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endometriosis is a complex, chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to pain, infertility, and a significant reduction in quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains incompletely understood, and current treatment options are often suboptimal, necessitating further research into novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advances in understanding the molecular and genetic underpinnings of endometriosis, as well as innovative approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Topics of interest include the role of inflammation and immune dysregulation, hormonal and environmental factors, noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers, and novel therapeutic interventions, surgical techniques, and emerging pharmacological treatments.
For this Special Issue, we invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that provide new insights into the pathophysiology, clinical management, and potential future directions in endometriosis research. This Special Issue seeks to foster a multidisciplinary discussion, bringing together experts in gynecology, reproductive medicine, immunology, and molecular biology to advance our understanding and treatment of this debilitating condition.
Dr. Mariarosaria Boccellino

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.
