Ion Conductance and Ion Regulation in Human Health and Disease

Dear Colleagues,

The gradients in ion concentration across the cell membrane are associated with many processes that define life. Therefore, the knowledge of ion conductance and ion regulation is vital to understanding cellular physiology and pathophysiology. This Special Issue deals with structures and functions of ion transport across membranes, with ion regulation based on intracellular ion stores and signaling processes involving ion transport. It includes studies of excitable cells but also covers non-excitable cells. Studies on model cells and cell lines as well as primary cells and tissue are welcome. This Special Issue covers original research and comprehensive reviews.

Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, pure clinical studies will not be suitable for this Special Issue; however, clinical submissions with biomolecular experiments 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
