Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The groundbreaking finding of Otto Warburg in the 1920s preceded the beginning of oncometabolism, now a recognized very fast-moving field of research. Metabolism’s complexity and interconnection with cell networks is as much an appealing as a challenging topic of research. Cellular metabolic adaptations, now a recognized hallmark of cancer, possess clear implications in many cellular processes extending from proliferation to survival. Mitochondria sits at the center of tumors’ energetics, virtually influencing all contributing factors in oncogenic processes. A comprehensive insight into underlining the cancer metabolic plasticity repertoire as a bidirectional crosstalk with genetics, epigenetics, or the microenvironment is necessary. This Special Issue of Cancers aims to clarify and collate the latest research on how the cancer cell metabolism changes and affects the molecular processes of tumorigenesis. Original research articles and review contributions are encouraged from areas that may include, but are not limited to, metabolism, mitochondria, metastasis, microenvironment, stem cells, and coding and noncoding RNA.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ricardo Marques
Guest Editor
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. Cancers 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 2900 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.
