Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite researchers and scholars to contribute their expertise to our Special Issue on “Copper Biology in Health and Disease”. This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted roles of copper in biological systems and its implications for human health and disease. Submissions are encouraged to delve into various aspects, including the molecular mechanisms of copper homeostasis, its role in cellular processes, and the impact of copper dysregulation on health outcomes.
Researchers are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that advance our understanding of copper biology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, copper transporters, copper-dependent enzymes, copper-related diseases, therapeutic applications of copper, and the interplay between copper and other trace elements.
By contributing to this Special Issue, researchers have the opportunity to foster collaboration and share insights that contribute to the broader understanding of copper’s significance in health and disease. Accepted manuscripts will be part of a dedicated collection that showcases the latest advancements in copper biology, providing a valuable resource for the scientific community.
We look forward to receiving innovative and high-quality submissions that contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this field. Join us in unraveling the intricacies of copper biology and its impact on human health and disease.
Dr. Vinit Shanbhag
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. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
