Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin diseases remain a major global health challenge, often exacerbated by the limited therapeutic options and an incomplete understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Recent advancements in cellular and molecular biology associated with new trends in tissue engineering have paved the way for innovative approaches to studying skin diseases, offering the potential for developing novel anti-inflammatory therapies and unveiling sustainable methods to model disease mechanisms.
This Special Issue, titled “Molecular Mechanisms and Novel Therapies for Skin Diseases”, will tackle critical challenges in this field by exploring the following topics:
Developing advanced in vitro strategies for anti-inflammatory therapies, reducing our reliance on animal models while ensuring scientifically rigorous outcomes.
Promoting ethical and sustainable approaches by fostering deeper insights into cellular pathways using 3D platforms as relevant models over traditional experimental animal use.
Leveraging cutting-edge modeling techniques to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying skin diseases, driving a deeper understanding and therapeutic advancements.
We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications that highlight cutting-edge findings in the following areas:
- Molecular pathways involved in skin inflammation and repair.
- Advanced in vitro models, such as 3D skin equivalents or organoids, to study disease progression and therapeutic response.
- Novel biomaterials or bioengineered platforms for skin disease modeling.
- Mechanisms of action for innovative anti-inflammatory therapies.
- Applications of “omics” technologies (genomics, proteomics, or metabolomics) to identify new therapeutic targets in skin diseases.
- Translational research focusing on sustainable, ethical, and impactful strategies for drug discovery.
This Special Issue will provide an opportunity to showcase groundbreaking research bridging the gap between molecular discoveries and clinical applications while promoting sustainability and ethical responsibility in research practices.

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.
