Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication, determining physiological and pathological processes in diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular disorders. Recent advances in multi-omics (proteomics, genomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics) have enhanced our understanding of EV biogenesis, cargo trafficking, and functional impact. Alongside these developments, cutting-edge isolation and characterization techniques, including high-resolution characterization by mass spectrometry, imaging, microfluidics, and AI-driven analytics, are accelerating EV research. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences highlights the integration of multi-omic approaches with innovative methodologies to analyze EV-mediated signaling networks. Furthermore, we also emphasize translational potential, showcasing how EVs serve as biomarkers, therapeutic carriers, and regenerative therapy tools in clinical settings. We invite original research studies, reviews, and perspectives that connect basic science with clinical innovation, encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration. Together, we can drive progress in this dynamic field toward precision medicine and novel therapies.

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.
