Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Maria Maisto and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member, Dr. Vincenzo Piccolo (University of Naples Federico II).
The objective of this Special Issue is to explore present-day approaches to addressing the root cause of skin diseases and their related complications. Given the wide range of genes associated with these conditions and the mutations responsible for the diseases, a diverse array of phenotypic severities and clinical outcomes can be observed. The severity of the disease and its corresponding subtype are determined by the specific affected gene, the type of mutation, and the method of inheritance. At present, treatment methods primarily focus on providing relief from symptoms, including wound care and blister prevention, as definitive treatments are still in the preclinical phase. Common skin diseases include genodermatoses, atopic dermatitis, and recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).
This Special Issue will focus on the molecular basis of various skin diseases, aiming to shed light on the underlying mechanisms behind these conditions. By investigating the molecular aspects of these skin diseases and highlighting potential therapeutic approaches, we hope to contribute to a broader understanding and improved management of these conditions, benefiting both patients and medical professionals in the field of dermatology.

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.
