Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Iron plays a crucial role in many physiological processes of the human body. A plethora of highly conserved regulatory and signaling pathways comprising metal uptake, transport, release, cellular storage, and metal recycling tightly control the dynamics of iron distribution inside the cells. Iron dyshomeostasis is usually associated with altered distribution and accumulation of iron in different compartments of cells. It is connected to multifactorial cellular dysfunction, causing oxidative stress, iron-induced lipid peroxidation, inflammatory responses, and ferroptosis, a programmed cell death process associated with iron dysregulation. It is supposed to be linked to many pathological processes, especially blood disorders, cancer, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as viral infections. In this collection, we will present an updated view of iron dyshomeostasis, discussing the associations with pathological processes. It will be also discussed how accumulated knowledge on this process is helping the creation of novel therapeutic strategies.

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.
