Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue will feature technical articles in the field of molecular biology to highlight the latest developments in this area. High-quality review articles and outstanding, in-depth original contributions are welcome. This year presents an opportunity to contribute to this Special Issue and make it a great success for the entire section. The wide range of articles and different topics will be considered, intended to reflect the breadth of the field of molecular biology research. Articles in the field of basic research and translation into medical areas are welcome, but this year, the focus should be on molecules that have recently become the subject of intense research, as well as on those that have been studied for a long time and are slowly falling into oblivion, despite their great scientific importance for molecular biology. In particular, I would like mechanobiological studies on different molecules receive to attention here as well. This Special Issue aims to highlight the importance of molecular biology and contribute to scientific excellence. I hope that many editors, reviewers, and new authors will feel inspired to get involved here.
Prof. Dr. Claudia Tanja Mierke
