Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THs, T3 and T4) are strictly regulated by their central and peripheral levels, thereby adjusting the final availability of THs in the target cells. A new paradigm has ascertained that the combination of TH genomic and non-genomic actions reveals the variety of the physiological and pathological actions of these pleiotropic hormones. Although research over recent decades has provided a plethora of demonstrations of TH-dependent actions in multiple physiological systems, our understanding of the global picture of TH action still remains largely uncertain.
This Special Issue is devoted to reviewing the current knowledge and novel discoveries of the genomic and non-genomic actions of THs in different physiological and pathological conditions.

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.
