Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise is a powerful modulator of molecular pathways that influence health, aging, and disease progression. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms and adaptations triggered by various forms of exercise, such as resistance, aerobic, interval, or combined training, in the prevention and management of disease.
Recent advances in multi-omics, molecular imaging, and cellular biology have provided unprecedented insights into how exercise regulates gene expression, signaling pathways, mitochondrial dynamics, inflammation, and cellular homeostasis across different tissues and disease states.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and short communications exploring how exercise modulates molecular and cellular responses in metabolic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, renal, or inflammatory diseases, among others. Studies employing integrative or translational approaches are particularly encouraged.
This Special Issue aims to bridge basic molecular science and clinical exercise physiology, fostering new understanding of how targeted exercise interventions can serve as personalized medicine for disease prevention and therapy.

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.
