Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cell death is a significant homeostatic factor, mediating the removal of damaged cells, organelles, and proteins. Many studies have focused on the process of cell death, mainly on the activators of apoptosis, and their strictly associated and interacting proteins. However, cells have several options other than apoptosis. Cell death mechanisms include intrinsic apoptosis, extrinsic apoptosis, cellular senescence, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-driven necrosis, NETotic cell death, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, parthanatos, entotic cell death, lysosome-dependent cell death, autophagy, immunogenic cell death, and mitotic catastrophe. In gastrointestinal tract, cell death plays a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, inflammation, immunity, and multiple pathophysiological conditions. The molecular mechanisms of cell death in gastrointestinal disease have not been fully elucidated.
This Special Issue will aim to cover novel research exploring all molecular mechanisms of cell death in gastrointestinal disease, including cancer, immune disease and infectious disease. Additionally, this Special Issue will include studies that highlight the innovative cell death-based drug targets and the associated predictive biomarkers. Original research articles, reviews are welcome.

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.
