Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), a cornerstone in the management of hormonal imbalances, has undergone remarkable advancements at the molecular level. With an evolving understanding of endocrine signaling pathways and the intricate interplay between hormones, receptors, and downstream effectors, HRT strategies are becoming increasingly precise and individualized. This Special Issue therefore aims to explore the latest molecular insights driving the development of HRT, encompassing themes such as gene expression modulation by hormones, epigenetic regulation in hormone-responsive tissues, and the role of non-coding RNAs in hormonal homeostasis. Emerging frontiers encompass personalized HRT regimens based on genomic profiling, innovative drug delivery systems targeting specific hormone receptors, and the integration of HRT with precision medicine. We invite submissions that delve into these and related aspects, showcasing novel discoveries, clinical applications, and ethical considerations surrounding HRT at the molecular frontier. Contributions should provide a fresh perspective, advancing the field and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations.

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.
