Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intercellular Communication between neighbored and distant cells are crucial for cell survival and responding to endocrine signaling. Exosomes, a class of extracellular vesicle (EVs) involved in cell to cell communication, are released by most of all biological fluids and emerging as novel cell-cell communication mediators in physiological and pathological conditions. These exosomes differ from other EVs based on their biogenesis, release pathways, size content, and function. Furthermore, these exosomes have shown to carry cell-specific cargos such as lipids, proteins, and miRNAs, mRNAs, and other genetic materials, and can be selectively taken up by neighboring or distant cells far from their release, which may ultimately reprogram the recipient cells distal from their release. Thus, exosomes and their biologically active cargos may offer potential biomarkers of diagnosis and therapeutic targets in a range of diseases, such as chronic inflammation, obesity, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic diseases, and tumors. This special issue aims to present new knowledge and covers all the topics relevant to exosomes in human cancers, cardiovascular, obesity, sleep, and neurogenerative deficit. We invite researchers to contribute either with original research or review articles focusing on every aspect regarding the role and function of exosomes in healthy and pathological conditions including the onset and progression of cancer, sleep, and heart diseases.
Due to the success of the 1st and 2nd editions, we would like to add more results and new insights from recent research projects.

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.
