Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved catabolic process in eukaryotic cells that allows the degradation of superfluous or damaged proteins, protein complexes, and organelles. This mechanism connects the elimination of these otherwise potentially harmful factors with the recycling of macromolecules set free during disposal from lysosomes or vacuoles. This clearance, which can be induced or constitutive, is a protective mechanism against cellular stress as well as invading pathogens. As a result, distinct autophagy pathways are involved in a multitude of physiological functions and pathological situations.
Autophagy is currently one of the fastest growing research areas in the life and medical sciences. Under the Section “Autophagy”, this Special Issue aims to present high-quality review articles detailing the latest cutting-edge research on autophagy in different species. We encourage all research groups covering relevant areas within the Section’s scope to submit up-to-date, full-length comprehensive reviews highlighting the latest developments in their field.
Researchers from all over the world are invited to contribute to this Special Issue. Potential contributors and invited authors are requested to provide a tentative title and a short abstract to our Editorial Office ([email protected]) for pre-evaluation. Please note that papers will still be subject to a thorough and rigorous peer-review process. Following peer review, all papers will be published on an ongoing basis with full open access.
Dr. Harald W. Platta
Guest Editor
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. Cells 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 2700 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.
