Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sepsis and non-infectious inflammatory disorders are significant global health challenges, and they are associated with a high prevalence of morbidity and mortality. Although our understanding of immune responses has advanced in recent years, the complex interactions within inflammatory networks and how they become dysregulated during disease remain incompletely understood. Molecular studies have been crucial in elucidating the mechanisms that promote inflammation, identifying biomarkers, and suggesting novel therapeutic targets.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of original research and reviews that address the molecular mechanisms involved in sepsis and sterile inflammation, including leukocyte recruitment, efferocytosis, cytokine signaling, oxidative stress, and resolution pathways. We welcome contributions that investigate the impact of comorbidities on the progression of disease and provide molecular insights into how underlying conditions influence inflammation and clinical outcomes. Contributions related to novel anti-inflammatory therapies, drug development, and translational research are also encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to enhance our understanding of inflammation in order to support the development of innovative therapies.

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.
