Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite decades of research and impressive advancements, our contemporary understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying schizophrenia phenomenology and treatment response remains incomplete. Novel approaches to interrogating and targeting the molecular substrates of schizophrenia, ranging from the subcellular to anatomical order, require rigorous investigation aimed at characterizing such mechanisms and the development of treatments beyond what is currently available for individuals with schizophrenia. In this Special Issue, we aim to present a multidisciplinary collection of the latest advances in the molecular basis of schizophrenia and novel treatment targets. This Special Issue will cover molecular pharmacology, cellular signaling, immunology, metabolism, and genomics.

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.
