Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of chemicals in wars, conflicts, terrorism, farming, industries, and in our daily life has increased alarmingly in last 20 years. Eye and skin are highly vulnerable to chemical exposure. Both, eye and skin, displays damages and functional disruptions even at lower concentrations of toxic/threat chemical exposure. The effects can be acute/early, delayed, or late/chronic in nature and impact quality of life significantly. This special issue is to publish articles on chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial chemicals, pesticides, vesicants, animal models of toxic injury, molecular and genetic targets, molecular pathways and mechanisms of chemical toxicity-induced pathologies, wound healing, and countermeasures with new or repurposing of current drugs/formulations that could inhibit the effects of chemical-induced toxicity to eye and skin.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal, which is devoted to the rapid publication of the most novel and significant Original Research Articles and Reviews. Its present impact factor is 5.924. All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the special issue and journal. For this research topic, we welcome Original articles, Reviews, and human Case Reports. The title of your manuscript should be concise, specific, and relevant to this special issue. The abstract should be a total of about 200 words maximum in a single paragraph without headings.
