Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit your study to the special collection ‘Apoptosis in Cancers’.
We welcome original research and reviews on the following aspects, with a particular focus on the following:
- Understanding networks of life/death decisions in a cancer cell;
- Molecular mechanisms of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic pathways in cancer cells;
- Pharmacological targeting of apoptosis in cancer;
- Recent advances uncovering cellular functions of apoptosis in cancer;
- Role of DNA damage mechanisms in cancer progression;
- Mitochondrial control of apoptosis in cancer;
- Role of death receptor-induced apoptosis in resistance;
- Mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance in cancer cells;
- Therapeutic strategies targeting key components of anti-apoptosis and apoptosis pathways.
