Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pharmacology is a discipline that deals with the interactions between natural, semisynthetic, or fully (bio)synthetic therapeutic agents at the cellular and organismal levels. These therapeutic agents can be small molecules or macromolecules, such as proteins and antibodies. Thus, this subject is positioned at the interface of pharmacy/chemistry and physiology/pathophysiology in their broadest senses. It operates at various organizational levels, such as the molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, and systemic platforms. Molecular pharmacology investigates the molecular mode of action of therapeutic agents using cellular, genetic, and molecular biology approaches and is among the most rapidly developing fields of pharmacology.
Original research and review articles on molecular pharmacology are invited. The Section “Molecular Pharmacology” aims to publish the latest developments in cellular and molecular pharmacology with a major emphasis on the mechanism of action of novel drugs, innovative pharmacological technologies, cell signaling, transduction pathway analysis, genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics applications to study drug action. An additional focus will be on the way in which normal biological function is illuminated by knowledge of the action of drugs at the cellular and molecular level.
A great number of research teams in France from different institutions and universities are working together and devoting considerable effort to developing and studying molecular pharmacology. This Topical Collection is committed to providing an overview of the macromolecular sciences and technologies in France.

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.

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.
