Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Entry and progression through mitosis requires extensive reorganization of the cytoskeleton. These cytoskeletal changes need to be tightly coupled with the main mitotic regulators to ensure that cells assemble a functional mitotic spindle, capture and correctly segregate chromosomes and finally, complete cytokinesis.
In this Special Issue, we invite colleagues to submit both their original research articles and reviews on the crosstalk between cytoskeleton and mitosis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, microtubule dynamics, mitotic spindle assembly and disassembly, motor-proteins driven processes, chromosome motion, kinetochore–microtubule interface, kinases and phosphatases-based regulation, technology and methods for investigation and analysis of cytoskeleton and cell division. Bringing together the current work and views on cytoskeleton and regulation of mitosis, we aim to boost further exploration and better understanding of the processes that ensure faithful cell division.

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.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
