DNA Repair and Immune Response
This special issue belongs to the section “Biomacromolecules: Proteins, Nucleic Acids and Carbohydrates“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lesions are generated continuously in our cellular DNA by external and internal factors. DNA damage is recognized and repaired by several pathways that involve multiple proteins. DNA damage response (DDR) is a complex change in cellular metabolism following DNA damage. Failures in DNA repair and DDR result in developmental disorders, defects in immune response, abnormal neurodevelopment, cancer, and aging. We invite the submission of original research manuscripts and review articles that cover different aspects of DNA repair, DDR, and related topics, such as immune response, neurodevelopment, and cancer. I am looking forward to your contribution.
Dr. Valentyn Oksenych
Collection 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
