Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autophagy is a highly conserved and essential process, which represents one of the main mechanisms for regulating the turnover of cellular components of the cytoplasm and selective removal of damaged organelles or misfolded/aggregated proteins. There are different types of autophagy, but in any case, the degradation of cellular components occurs through the action of lysosomes. The autophagy process is basically governed by a group of genes called ATG (autophagy-related genes). Autophagy controls different physiological processes but is also involved in many processes that lead to the development of different pathologies. In recent years, a crucial role of this self-degradative homeostatic process has been found on events related to inflammation and immunity. Its correct modulation could therefore counteract those conditions that lead to the onset of a large spectrum of immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMID).
The main purpose of the special issue: “Autophagy: New Frontier and Perspective” is to be an open forum where researchers have the possibility to share their investigations and findings in this field. Contributions to this issue, both in the form of original research or review articles, may cover all aspects of the involved molecular mechanisms and of the effect of drugs or natural compounds on regulate the autophagy process related to IMID.

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.
