Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenetic regulation for the chemoprevention of cancer is a new and promising method in oncology. Epigenetics plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis and the prevention of cancer, as it involves heritable changes in gene expression that occur without changes to the DNA sequence. The expression of genes that promote tumor initiation and progression can be caused by aberrant epigenetic modifications. Targeting these epigenetic changes has become a crucial approach in cancer chemoprevention via the use of natural products or drugs. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge discoveries, novel strategies, and therapeutic approaches that target epigenetic modifications to prevent cancer. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Mechanisms of epigenetic dysregulation in cancer prevention: exploring the role of epigenetic changes in tumor initiation and progression.
- DNA methylation inhibitors for cancer prevention: advances in the development and implementation of these inhibitors.
- Histone modification-targeted therapies: exploring new approaches to altering histone modification.
- Epigenetic regulation by non-coding RNAs: examining their role in the prevention of cancer.
- Diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors: How do these elements influence epigenetic changes and the risk of cancer?
The submission of both basic and clinical research is welcome. Authors are encouraged to share their thoughts, findings, and innovations regarding the application of epigenetic regulation in cancer chemoprevention. Through this Special Issue, we hope to enhance our understanding and application of epigenetic regulation in cancer chemoprevention.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
