Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aiming for more individualized and effective perioperative care, integrating molecular data into clinical decision-making is gaining momentum. We invite submissions for a special issue focused on the latest advances in molecular sciences applied to perioperative medicine. This issue aims to explore cutting-edge research on molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and precision medicine approaches that are transforming perioperative care. Topics of interest include e.g.,
- Genomics & Pharmacogenomics: Genetic markers influencing anesthetic sensitivity and postoperative outcomes.
- Molecular Mechanisms of Anesthesia: Insights into anesthetic action and potential neurotoxic effects.
- Inflammatory & Immune Responses: Molecular pathways driving perioperative inflammation and immune modulation.
- Microbiome Dynamics: The role of the microbiome in surgical outcomes and recovery.
- Mitochondrial Function & Oxidative Stress: Protecting organs from surgery-induced oxidative damage.
- Perioperative Biomarkers: Early detection of organ injury and surgical complications.
- Epigenetics & Metabolomics: Personalized medicine through molecular profiling and metabolic biomarkers.
- Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury: Novel strategies for minimizing tissue damage during surgery.
- Cognitive Dysfunction: Molecular pathways underlying postoperative cognitive decline and delirium.
We warmly invite clinicians and scientists to submit their manuscripts for consideration in this special issue. If your work advances our understanding of molecular mechanisms in novel clinical applications, your contribution is invaluable to shaping the future of perioperative care. Join us in this exciting endeavor to foster innovation and improve patient outcomes through cutting-edge molecular science. We look forward to receiving your submissions and sharing your breakthroughs with the global medical and scientific community.

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.
