Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parathyroid tumors are common forms of endocrine neoplasia. They are mainly benign lesions associated with parathormone (PTH) inappropriate secretion, determining the metabolic disorder known as primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Parathyroid tumors are characterized by calcium-sensing receptor (CASR)-mediated reduced sensitivity to extracellular calcium. Accumulating evidence suggests that epigenetic factors play pivotal roles in parathyroid tumorigenesis. However, many aspects need to be explored, including the molecular pathways related to epigenetic aberrations and their effects on parathyroid cell proliferation and/or sensitivity to extracellular calcium.
Our Special Issue will focus on epigenetic features of parathyroid tumorigenesis, to provide potential novel targets for new therapeutic approaches or biomarkers supporting diagnosis. To this end, we wish to invite investigators from basic, pathophysiological, and clinical research to contribute with original articles, reviews, or communications.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
