The Effect of Ionizing Radiation on Human Cells

Dear Colleagues,

Ionizing radiation is a critical area of study, as it has widespread implications for various fields, including medical science, environmental health, and radiation therapy. This special issue will provide a platform for researchers, scientists, and experts to share their findings and contribute to our understanding of the biological responses to ionizing radiation. It aims to gather cutting-edge research and insights into the impact of ionizing radiation on human cells, shedding light on its mechanisms, consequences, and potential applications.

The special issue invites original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that address diverse aspects related to ionizing radiation, such as:

1. Mechanisms of DNA damage and repair in response to ionizing radiation.
2. Cellular and molecular responses to ionizing radiation exposure.
3. Radiobiology and radiation therapy strategies for cancer treatment.
4. Molecular mechanisms of long-term effects of ionizing radiation on human health.
5. Novel techniques and technologies for assessing radiation-induced cellular and molecular responses.
6. Protection and mitigation strategies based on the molecular effects of radiation.

We invite researchers to submit their original work to this special issue. Manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring the publication of high-quality research.

We encourage scientists and experts in the field of ionizing radiation to contribute to this special issue and help shape the future of research in this crucial area.

Together, let us explore the profound effects of ionizing radiation on human cells and molecules and pave the way for advancements in radiation biology and its applications.

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.
