Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions of manuscripts to this Special Issue, ‘Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Cancer Progression,’ which aims to showcase cutting-edge research highlighting the intersection of mathematics, computational biology, and oncology, with the goal of advancing our understanding of the intricate processes driving cancer progression.
Cancer progression is a multifaceted phenomenon involving intricate interactions between genetic, molecular, and cellular components. Mathematical and computational models offer powerful tools to dissect these complexities, aiding in the identification of critical biomarkers, treatment optimization, and therapeutic development. We encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Spatial and temporal modeling of tumor growth;
- Patient-specific modeling and treatment strategies;
- Computational approaches for tumor microenvironment analysis;
- Modeling metastasis and therapeutic resistance;
- Multi-scale modeling in cancer biology;
- Integration of omics data in cancer modeling;
- Impact of heterogeneity on disease progression;
- Machine learning and AI applications in mechanistic modeling of cancer.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
