Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Retinal diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. These diseases can lead to vision loss and significantly impact a person's quality of life. In recent years, advancements in molecular pathology, diagnostics, and treatments have revolutionized our understanding of retinal diseases.
This Special Issue aims to discuss and summarize insights into new molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutics for retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, inherited retinal diseases, glaucoma, myopia, and retinal vascular diseases.
We hope that the combination of original papers and focused reviews will provide a useful resource for advancements in the understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of retinal diseases, thus aiding researchers in the field and allowing others to take a step toward the discovery and intervention of vision-threatening diseases of the retina.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Xuri Li
Guest Editor
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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
