Dear Colleagues,

It is becoming more and more obvious that growth and development of all living organisms is tightly link to their abiotic and biotic ecological units. All individuals have to deal with their physical and chemical environment to grow, sometimes when conditions are not favorable, they might organize reparation of damages, survival and/or some cells death in order to preserve the organism. Some stress response mechanisms are ubiquitous like response to heat shock or to ionizing radiation, some are particular to a taxon or even to a species but could be of great interest for the whole scientific community to discover new response strategies. This special issue is aiming to present original results or reviews on molecular aspects of stress responses in biology.

Submission

All papers should be submitted to ijms@mdpi.com. To be published continuously until the deadline and papers will be listed together at the special issue website.

Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors is available on the Instructions for Authors page. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed monthly journal published by MDPI.

Open Access publication fees are 800 CHF per paper. English correction fees and/or formatting fees (250 CHF) will be added in certain cases (1050 CHF per paper for those papers that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections).
