Feature Paper Collection in Molecular Endocrinology and Metabolism

Dear Colleagues,

As Section Editor in Chief of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, I am very excited to announce the Topical Collection “Feature Paper Collection in Molecular Endocrinology and Metabolism”. The collection aims to collect high-quality research and review articles on all aspects of Endocrinology and Metabolism.

The areas of interest for the Topical Collection embrace, but are not limited to, topics such as:

• Endocrine systems and endocrine-related diseases;
• Molecular, cellular, genetic, epigenetic, developmental approaches, and animal models;
• Novel insights into physiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics;
• Neuroendocrinology and neuroendocrine control of endocrine axes;
• Classical glands (thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, parathyroid, testis, ovary, pituitary, etc.) and other endocrine systems: gut, bone, liver, etc.;
• Lipids and bone metabolism;
• Hormones, paracrine factors, receptors and binding components, nuclear receptors membrane receptors, and signal transduction pathway;
• Steroid biosynthetic enzymes, metabolism of hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.;
• Cellular interactions and factors involved;
• Energy expenditure;
• Diabetes;
• Infertility and reproductive diseases;
• Obesity;
• Osteoporosis;
• Aging;
• Endocrine-related tumor and cancer;
• Endocrine disruption;
• Crossdisciplinary and integrative studies;
• Comparative aspects of endocrinology.

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. 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 collection 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-anonymized 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.
