Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by placental malperfusion, significantly impacting maternal and perinatal health worldwide. Despite considerable research, its pathogenesis and etiology remain partially understood. This Special Issue focuses on the molecular aspects of preeclampsia, particularly its pathogenesis. We are interested in exploring the immune system’s role, specifically how immune maladaptation contributes to preeclampsia, and encouraging studies on immune responses in preeclamptic conditions. Additionally, we seek manuscripts addressing transcription and gene regulation in preeclampsia. Contributions that examine gene expression profiles, epigenetic changes, and regulatory pathways influencing gene expression linked to preeclampsia are particularly valued. This Special Issue also invites research integrating these molecular insights with translational research, aiming to close the gap between laboratory findings and clinical application.
By deepening our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in preeclampsia, we aim to enhance diagnostics, develop targeted therapies, and improve outcomes for mothers and infants. This Special Issue offers researchers and clinicians an opportunity to contribute to the evolving knowledge base on the complex molecular dynamics of preeclampsia. We eagerly anticipate your submissions and contributions to this important topic.

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.
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.
