Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meningioma is a very common primary brain tumor, yet its biological behavior and therapeutic response vary widely. Recent advances in molecular and genomic profiling have reshaped our understanding of tumor classification, progression, and treatment resistance. This Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences, “Human Meningioma: Recent Developments,” aims to highlight the latest discoveries in molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying meningioma pathogenesis and treatment. We welcome studies integrating biomolecular experiments, genomic and transcriptomic analyses, radiogenomics, and translational approaches that connect molecular findings with clinical outcomes. Submissions involving both clinical data and molecular experiments are particularly encouraged to promote a comprehensive understanding of meningioma biology and to pave the way toward precision neurosurgical and radiosurgical care.

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.
