Advances in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease: Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease in high-income countries. Recent research has identified the novel molecular pathways that are implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. In addition, emerging molecular markers are also being developed that might be useful in the timely diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease and monitoring of its progression. Furthermore, translational research has led to the identification of new molecular targets for its treatment.

This Special Issue, ‘Advances in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease: Second Edition’, invites submissions of original papers as well as reviews that underscore the recent research progress in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of diabetic kidney disease, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms underpinning these aspects.

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.
