Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern medicine has made steady progress in understanding the fundamental interactions between cancer and the host immune system. Recent research articles are focused on underpinning of the complex relationship between the cancer microenvironment and immune cells and showcase the latest advances in the field and provide up-to-date information. Therefore, we are intrigued about the molecular mechanisms, physiological connections, and potential immunomodulatory pathways between immune cells and cancer cells involving their crosstalk at cellular metabolism level. Meanwhile, we are learning how different anti-cancer treatments, including monoclonal antibodies, immunotoxins, bispecific antibodies, T-cell therapy, etc., affect the immune system, and how all of this affects tumor responses.
We welcome submissions of original research papers and reviews, including but not limited to the following topics:
- Mechanism of cancer immunotherapy and its effect on the immune system
- TME control of tumor cell death
- Immunometabolism in the tumor microenvironment
- Changes in the immune system during cancer treatment in clinical trials
- Cell death induction mechanism of tumor immunogenicity

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.
