Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Recent Molecular Advances in the Pathology and Therapeutics of Musculoskeletal Disease”, offers a broad exploration of the latest breakthroughs in comprehending the immunopathology of diverse musculoskeletal diseases. This collection of articles sheds light on the pivotal role of the immune system in maintaining musculoskeletal homeostasis and contributing to the pathogenesis of disorders such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bone metastasis, among others.
Delving into recent molecular advancements, this Special Issue unravels the intricate interplay among immune cells, cytokines, signaling molecules, and specific molecular pathways relevant to musculoskeletal diseases. Additionally, it unveils the discovery of novel therapeutic targets aimed at addressing the complexities of these conditions.
Our objective is to establish a comprehensive platform for researchers to present cutting-edge findings, fostering a deeper understanding of the immunopathology underlying musculoskeletal diseases. By doing so, we aim to for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies that improve patients’ outcomes in the realm of musculoskeletal health. Original research articles and critical reviews on the molecular advances of musculoskeletal disease are welcome.
Dr. Cristina Sánchez-De-Diego

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.
