Comorbidities in Chronic Diseases: Molecular Markers and Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

In the long run, almost all chronic diseases affect the whole organisms with concomitantly increasing needs for additional therapy to control and prevent aggravation of comorbidities. This is especially true for congenital and/or hereditary diseases with primary multiorgan involvement. Furthermore, life-style and ageing related effects have to be considered, especially in adults. Deciphering the metabolic and endocrine cross-talk between organs and the aberrations related to chronic disease might not only have fostered the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms but also led to the detection of new biomarkers for an improved monitoring of chronically ill patients.

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.
