Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
By identifying biomarkers of exposure and effect, molecular toxicology can elucidate the mechanisms of toxicity of environmental agents and inform risk assessment and policy decisions, focusing on the risks posed to human health. Improved understanding can allow for more precise diagnosis, personalized treatment strategies, and a better knowledge of how environmental agents contribute to the development of human diseases. Therefore, this Special Issue, 25th Anniversary of IJMS: Updates and Advances in Molecular Toxicology, aims to collect original research contributions on the most recent investigations in this field that can help to delucidate the interactions between chemical molecules and organisms by providing tools to understand chronic diseases, including cancer, at its fundamental molecular level. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the study of defined xenobiotics compounds such as cancerogenic agents, metals, endocrine and epigenetic disruptors, and the association between exposure to toxic substances and the diagnosis of human diseases by using in vivo and in vitro models, as well as case–control and cross-sectional approaches. We hope that this Special Issue will prompt advances in molecular toxicology as well its application in cancer diagnostics.
Dr. Marco E. M. Peluso

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
