Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gynaecological and obstetrical disorders are common health issues affecting women throughout their lives—from adolescence to menopause. These conditions, including infertility, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy complications, cancers, and others, often impact quality of life and may lead to long-term health consequences.
In recent years, advances in molecular biology have deepened our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these disorders. Researchers are identifying novel genetic and molecular markers that hold promise for earlier diagnosis, more accurate classification, and improved therapeutic strategies. Investigations in areas such as epigenetics, non-coding RNAs, and immune pathways are shedding light on key processes involved in gynaecological diseases.
This Special Issue, “Molecular Advances in Obstetrical and Gynaecological Disorders”, invites original research and reviews that focus on molecular approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of these disorders. Topics may include molecular biology, genetics, immunology, endocrinology, and related fields.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this growing area of research.
Dr. Panagiotis Christopoulos
Guest Editor
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.
