Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cytokine receptor signaling represents a paradigm for cell-to-cell communication, which plays a particularly pivotal role in facilitating the generation, maintenance, and function of blood and immune cells. Perhaps unsurprisingly, mutations and other aberrations impacting cytokine receptor signaling have been identified as the key causative agents for a diverse range of malignancies affecting the blood and immune cells, including proliferative disorders, leukemias and lymphomas.
This Special Issue will focus on these pathogenic aberrations in cytokine receptor signaling, highlighting the molecular underpinnings, their modes of action and their specific clinical presentations. It will detail relevant cellular and animal studies that model these disorders, as well as the pre-clinical and clinical studies that aim to investigate potential therapeutic strategies to ameliorate the effects of aberrant cytokine receptor signaling.

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 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. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
