Protein Signal Transduction in the Nucleus

Dear Colleagues,

The proteins in the nuclear membrane network not only maintain cell structure, but also regulate specific signal transduction in response to external stimuli. They can interact with signal proteins or transcription factors that enter the nucleus to regulate various life processes. These proteins function as signal regulators. This Special Issue focuses on the network of nuclear inner membrane proteins sharing the LAP2-emerin-MAN1-domain (LEM-D) and nuclear lamina, which are essential for maintaining the cell nuclear structure. The goal is to highlight their potential as significant signal transduction regulators. Research submissions on the interaction between other nuclear membrane proteins and signal-related factors within the nucleus are also welcome. Comprehensive studies of these proteins can help in the prevention of muscle diseases and cancer caused by signal regulation failure and contribute to the search for therapeutic targets for various diseases. This Special Issue aims to present a new paradigm that expands the field of intracellular signal regulation research into the nucleus, and shares systematic research approaches and results at a time when relevant research is increasing.

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.
