Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interplay between tumor cells and the immune cells of the host is key in determining the development and progression of various types of cancers. Molecular research into the composition, topography and colocalization of the immune cells in the tumor microenvironment is thus critical to inform prognosis and suitability for immunotherapy.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring investigators up to date with recent developments in research on the tumor microenvironment and its clinical implications. We invite original research and review articles into tumor microenvironment profiling. IJMS focuses on molecular studies in biology and chemistry, with a strong emphasis on molecular biology and molecular medicine, and we particularly welcome publications in molecular-level research.

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.
