Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glycosylation is a highly future-oriented research area in life sciences. Protein- and lipid-linked carbohydrates influence many fundamental molecular cellular processes, such as protein folding and stability, subcellular localization, cell signaling, and cell adhesion to name just a few. Thus, as might be expected, glycoconjugates affect virtually all aspects of growth and development in eukaryotes. A huge variety of genetic defects in the synthesis and attachment of glycans to proteins and lipids—mostly termed congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG)—are now known, covering a broad clinical spectrum and affecting almost every organ system. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of studies on biosynthesis and function of glycosylation in eukaryotes, and insights into the implications of aberrant glycosylation at the molecular, cellular and organismal levels ranging from yeast to human disease models.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an article for a Special Issue of the journal Cells on the subject of “Glycosylation: from molecules to organisms”. The article may be either a full paper or a communication based on your own research or a focused review article on some aspect of the subject.

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. Cells 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 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.
