Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized, membrane-bound particles released by all cell types, playing essential roles in intercellular communication. They facilitate the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, impacting various physiological processes and disease mechanisms. EVs are gaining recognition for their potential in diagnostics and therapeutics, serving as biomarkers for diseases such as cancer, infections, and immunological and neurodegenerative disorders. Their ability to transport cargo across biological barriers positions them as promising vehicles for drug delivery and regenerative medicine.
This Special Issue aims to focus on the molecular mechanisms through which EVs contribute to the pathophysiology of human diseases. As a journal dedicated to advancing molecular science, this Special Issue emphasizes studies that explore the intricate biomolecular interactions of EVs in both clinical and model systems. While purely clinical studies fall outside the scope of this Issue, we welcome submissions that incorporate biomolecular experiments alongside clinical insights or studies utilizing relevant models. Your contributions can significantly enhance our understanding of the role of EVs in disease processes and potential therapeutic applications.

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.
