Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mitochondria are highly dynamic and responsive organelles that are capable of undergoing fission and fusion and are the hub for diverse signal processors, which are fundamental to cellular homeostasis, energy production, metabolism, survival, and death. Mitochondiral remodeling, including rearranging, recycling, and reprogramming, is essential for mitochondrial quality control, structural integrity, and functional interaction with other cellular organelles. Alhtough we are still far from fully understanding the complexity of mitochondrial remodeling in its physiological and pathophysiological significance, this process has been, nonetheless, implicated in the pathogenesis of many human disorders, including cancer and aging-related diseases. With the advent of new information, technologies, and methodologies, it is time to delineate the significance and enigmatic mechanisms relevant to the dynamic remodeling of mitochondria in response to pathophysiological stresses in a more precise and comprehensive way. In this respect, scientific evidence and provocative ideas are important to translate science into practice effectively. Therefore, we kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with original research articles or comprehensive reviews on all molecular aspects related to the theme of “Remodeling of Mitochondria in Cancer and Other Diseases”. Short perspective papers or pure clinical papers will not be considered, while novel Communication articles with interesting molecular data will be of interest. This Special Issue aims to increase our understanding of the role, regulation, and impact of mitochondrial remodeling in disease-specific pathology and possibly translate these finding into therapeutics, from basic research to the clinic.

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.
