Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) is pleased to present a Special Issue dedicated to furthering our understanding of membrane transporters and their complex roles in biological systems. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive forum for researchers and academics to discuss their most recent discoveries, methodology, and opinions in membrane transporters research.
Membrane transporters play crucial roles in cellular processes, including the uptake, efflux, and distribution of various molecules. Understanding their molecular mechanisms is essential to unravel the complexities of physiological and pathological processes, drug delivery, and therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that bridge the gap between clinical observations and biomolecular experiments. Although pure clinical studies may not align with the journal's focus, submissions integrating clinical aspects with biomolecular experimentation will be highly valued. Researchers are encouraged to explore the diverse aspects of membrane transporter research, including structure–function relationships, regulation, modulation, transport kinetics, and implications for human health and disease.

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.
