Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, we invite you to contribute either an original research article or a review article on any aspect of the subject of “Recent Advances in Immuno-Oncology and Intercellular Communication”. Understanding the basic mechanisms of tumorigenesis, role of the immune system, and intercellular communication in cancer is pivotal for the development of novel therapeutics.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Key biological processes such as cell metabolism and signaling pathways;
- Molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression;
- Crosstalk between tumor and immune cells;
- Cancer biomarkers: screening, diagnosis, treatment response, prognosis;
- Cancer cell invasion and metastasis;
- Intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment;
- Communication between adjacent cells through tunneling nanotubes (TNT), extracellular vesicles or soluble factors;
- Advances in cancer immunotherapy;
- Translational cancer research;
- EVs as a therapeutic tool.

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.
