Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is focused on the crucial role that non-coding RNAs play in female reproduction.
Non-coding RNAs regulate various processes, ranging from the earliest stages of oocyte development to the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Their dysregulation can be associated with both physiological and pathological conditions, comprising reproductive disorders, cancers and infertility.
Their plethora of regulatory functions highlight the importance of understanding their role in reproductive biology and could lead to the development of novel therapeutics, as well as improve reproductive outcomes.

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.
