Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autophagy and mitophagy are important cellular processes responsible for breaking down cellular contents and preserving energy against the accumulation of damaged biomolecules. The stimuli for autophagy and mitophagy, such as chemotherapy agents, nonbiological stresses, extracellular physiological stress signals (cytokines), growth factors/hormones and DNA damage, determine the degree to which they are induced. Therefore, exploring the mechanism between autophagy signaling and mitophagy in tumor cells is critical to therapeutic development. In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions on the functional role and molecular mechanisms underlying autophagy and mitophagy in the tumor microenvironment. We also welcome studies researching the cell model and in vivo targeting of autophagy/mitophagy in animal for the treatment of various tumor cells. Original research and review articles are highly encouraged.

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. Cells 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
