New Research in Molecular Cancer Biology

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer is not defined as a single disease, but a heterogeneous group of diseases, characterized by the accumulation of mutations in the genome of cells, to the point where these mutations affect the various functions at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and systemic levels. Development of cancer  requires several molecular alterations at multiple levels including genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. Our increasing understanding of the molecular processes governing cell growth and differentiation positions molecular biology in the center of moder oncology research as it offers possibilities for discovery of new diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. This Special Issue aims to present original research and review articles on molecular and cellular cancer biology related to the development, progression and therapy of cancer. It focuses on innovative discoveries, approaches, and technical development in molecular cancer research. We would also particularly encourage submissions that use omics studies as a means of better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism of cancer and the opportunity for novel anti-cancer therapies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
