Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin diseases, both benign and malignant, are considered a major health problem due to their high prevalence and associated morbidity. This is expected to worsen in the future due to the increase in the population’s average life expectancy.
Over the last years, accumulating data on cellular and molecular pathways has increased our knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of skin diseases and helped to introduce novel therapeutic strategies. Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered, e.g., the identification of patients who will benefit from each therapy or the effect of the combination of genetic and environmental factors. The importance of epigenetic changes in an organ constantly exposed to the environment is underestimated. A comprehensive characterization of genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional aberrations by high-throughput analysis methodologies is needed to further elucidate the crosstalk of these changes in the development of skin diseases.
This Special Issue is open to basic and translational research articles, as well as reviews, that cover recent advances in the identification of mechanisms, biomarkers, or putative therapeutic targets in this field.

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.
