Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is intended to cover the mechanisms that regulate microRNAs (miRNAs). The discovery of miRNAs has tremendously advanced the understanding of signal transduction, not only during normal development, but also in pathological conditions. Studies have shown the critical role of miRNAs in many biological processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration and invasion, apoptosis, and transformation. Moreover, recent studies also show a role of miRNAs in host–pathogen interactions. Therefore, this Special Issue is dedicated to understanding how these miRNAs are regulated, such as how their aberrant expression contributes to the development of disease. This being said, in this Special Issue, we invite the scientific community to address the mechanisms that regulate miRNAs in organ injury, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. We invite both original articles and reviews on the future of translation medicine. In this Special Issue, we are excited to address such a small molecule, with sucha giant switch with profound biological effects.

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 Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
