Ribosomes in Cancer

Dear Colleagues, 

Ribosomes are at the heart of gene expression, translating all cellular mRNAs into proteins. Cells have the potential to produce a myriad of ribosomes through genetic variants and chemical modifications of the 4 RNAs and 80 proteins that comprise human ribosomes. In the last decade, basic and translational studies have brought to light the contribution of ribosome activity in acquisition of the cancer hallmarks of tumor cells that are driven by profound translational reprogramming, and unveiled the potential of targeting ribosomes in cancer therapy.

The Special Issue “Ribosomes in Cancer” aims at compiling these novel and exciting discoveries to consolidate the place of the human ribosome as a key biological object in oncology—not only to better understand cancer biology but also to promote usage of ribosomes in clinic as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

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 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-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.
