Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have become a central focus of research across biology, medicine, and chemistry. They provide critical insights into the mechanisms that govern cellular function and dysfunction. From metabolic regulation to cancer and inflammation, ncRNAs have emerged as key regulators orchestrating a wide range of biological processes.
Within the complex regulatory landscape, ncRNAs modulate gene expression and influence fundamental aspects of development, growth, and disease progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) play diverse roles in pathways related to stem cell regeneration, apoptosis, and autophagy.
This Special Issue focuses on ncRNA-mediated regulation and the intricate interactions between these molecules and their targets. It aims to advance understanding of the mechanisms through which ncRNAs contribute to both physiological and pathological processes.
We welcome original research articles and reviews that provide the readers of IJMS with novel data regarding the most relevant aspects of ncRNA biology.

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.
