Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Epitranscriptomics and the Tumor Microenvironment”, will focus on how RNA modifications (m6A, m5C, Ψ and A-to-I editing) regulate tumor–immune–stromal crosstalk and therapy response. We invite mechanistic and translational studies that link writers, readers, and erasers to antigen visibility, interferon tone, vascular fitness, stemness, metastasis, and resistance in solid tumors. Of particular interest are works that integrate epitranscriptomic profiling (LC–MS, direct RNA sequencing, spatial assays) with immunotherapy, anti-angiogenic, or combination trials, as well as authoritative reviews that synthesize these data into clinically actionable frameworks for pharmacodynamic readouts, biomarker development, and rational combination design.
