Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation exposure, whether from environmental sources, medical treatments, or occupational hazards, has profound effects on biological systems. The impact of radiation on cells and tissues can lead to complex molecular responses, driving efforts to understand these processes for better therapeutic and protective strategies.
This Special Issue invites original research and review articles that delve into molecular pathways, including DNA damage and repair, signal transduction, apoptosis, autophagy, and cellular senescence induced by radiation. We also welcome studies on the role of non-coding RNAs, epigenetic modifications, and molecular markers in radiation response. Research on the development of novel radioprotective agents and strategies to mitigate radiation-induced damage is particularly encouraged. By gathering cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aims to provide comprehensive insights into the molecular underpinnings of radiation effects, contributing to the development of more effective therapeutic interventions and protective measures.
We invite contributions from researchers across the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry, oncology, and related disciplines to enhance our understanding of radiation-induced biological responses and their implications for human health.
Dr. Carlo Aprile
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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
