Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hematopoiesis, the highly orchestrated process of blood cell formation, is regulated by a complex interplay of intrinsic transcriptional networks and extrinsic signaling cues. Disruption of these precise regulatory mechanisms underpins the pathogenesis of diverse hematologic diseases. Advanced understanding of hematopoietic regulation and its dysregulation will enable the development of more precise diagnostic tools, risk stratification methods, and novel therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and reviews that advance our understanding of hematopoietic stem cell biology; developmental regulation; and the molecular pathogenesis underlying blood diseases, including leukemia, lymphoma, anemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Hematopoietic stem cell biology and differentiation;
- Genetic and epigenetic regulation of hematopoiesis;
- Molecular pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies;
- Novel therapeutic targets and diagnostic approaches;
- Advances in modeling blood disorders.

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.
