Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following a very successful first run, we are pleased to announce the launch of a second edition of the Special Issue “Biomolecules in Development and Diseases of Urogenital System II”.
Basic morphological analyses have a long tradition and continue to provide us with useful information about various biomolecules, enabling us to understand the pathways that underlie the normal development of the urogenital system, as well as the associated pathological changes. For the last three decades, we have been in the era of molecular biology, but it should be emphasized that morphology is still dominant in terms of the distinction between normal versus abnormal development, and the different pathologies of the urogenital system. Moreover, the expression of different biomolecules in some urogenital disorders provides prognostic utility that is captured by morphology. However, there remains the need to identify new biomolecules in the development and diseases of the urogenital system beyond morphology. Accordingly, similar basic processes and genes may be involved in the development and diseases of the urogenital system, with the major difference being that all these processes are tremendously well arranged during normal development. This exciting concept suggests that the underlying key technology, along with comparative studies in development and diseases, may provide unique insights into the link between normal differentiation and pathology. This Special Issue on biomolecules in the development and diseases of the urogenital system should emphasize the importance of a translational approach, which could transform the discovery of biomolecules in the laboratory into innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic treatments in the field of the development and diseases of the urogenital system.

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.
