Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, fetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth (preterm prelabor rupture of membranes and spontaneous preterm labor), and an invasive placenta are major complications responsible for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The elucidation of the pathogenetic mechanisms related to the initiation and onset of severe pregnancy-related complications enables the identification of potential biomarkers for the early stratification of at-risk patients. Additionally, pregnancy-related complications induce long-term metabolic and vascular abnormalities that might increase the overall risk of metabolic, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, kidney, and other diseases later in life in mothers and their offspring. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the latest research on the mechanisms associated with pregnancy-related complications as well as of the contributions of pregnancy-related complications to the later development of various diseases. This will include the underlying mechanisms, diagnostics/prognostics, and treatment strategies associated with pregnancy-related complications, and will be of interest to scientists as well as clinicians working in this quickly expanding area.
Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Pathogenesis of pregnancy-related complications;
- Diagnosis and prognosis of pregnancy-related complications;
- Short-term and long-term follow-up after pregnancy-related complications (mothers and offspring);
- Novel treatment modalities of pregnancy-related complications and their short-term as well as long-term consequences.

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.
