Special Issue Information
Gastrointestinal cancers, including colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gallbladder cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, and pancreatic cancer, are among the most commonly diagnosed and prevalent cancers globally. Despite the implementation of advances in therapeutic treatment, such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies, gastrointestinal cancers still account for more cancer-related deaths than other types of malignancies. In light of this, identification of new approaches to prevent and treat gastrointestinal cancers is urgent. It is noteworthy that biomolecules from natural sources, such as microorganisms, animals and plants, are invaluable resources for novel cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic agents. Accordingly, this Special Issue of Biomolecules is dedicated to original research and review articles that delineate the chemopreventive and therapeutic potential of biomolecules with clearly defined molecular mechanisms in gastrointestinal 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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
