Application of Emerging Technologies in Zebrafish and Mammalian Cancer Models for Disease Characterization and Therapeutic Target Discovery

Dear Colleagues,

Cancer research utilizing zebrafish and mammalian models has been instrumental in contributing to our understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease initiation and progression. Zebrafish and mammalian models are also powerful tools in therapeutic target testing and discovery. The emergence of new gene editing, imaging, functional genomics, and single cell technologies has enabled exciting discoveries and new research directions at the basic science and translational levels. This Special Issue of Cancers highlights works that apply emerging gene editing, imaging, functional genomics, and single cell technologies in zebrafish or mammalian models to characterize various hallmarks of cancer and identify therapeutic targets in translational settings

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 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-anonymized 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.
