Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within complex multicellular organisms, cells undergo defined transcriptional regulation to differentiate and dedifferentiate into unique and essential cell types. Underlying these transcriptional changes are epigenetic changes including chromatin remodeling, histone modifications, and modulation of DNA methylation and small non-coding RNAs. Recent advances in this field have significantly expanded its potential for artificial reprogramming in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, and drug discovery.
This Special Issue aims to capture studies profiling the associations of epigenetic changes with cellular programming in both in vivo and ex vivo model systems. Moreover, studies in non-model organisms or development of experimental systems capable of inducing or preventing cellular reprogramming are also welcome. Both research and review articles are welcome.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Benjamin Carone
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. 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.
