Cell Migration and Invasion in Cancer

Dear Colleagues,

Cell invasion and migration play important roles in embryonic development, homeostasis, and pathobiology and the process of cancer progression. Cell migration is coordinated by a plethora of cytoplasmic proteins which involve a transient signaling event with changes in the cellular architecture. In cancer progression, tumor cells originate from their primary site and metastasize to the distant organ. Various cytoplasmic protein and transcription factors have been identified to mediate this process. The progression of cancer to metastasis is a major reason for cancer death. In this Special Issue, we will briefly describe the role of various tumor suppressors, oncogenes, miRNA, and their targets in the regulation of tumor cell invasion, migration, and metastasis in different forms of cancer.

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. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
