Radiation-Induced Pathophysiological Changes, Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies
Special Issue Editor
Interests: Health effects linked to continuous low-dose-rate radiation exposure, in particular on neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, neurological and neuropsychological disorders. The research aims to bridge critical knowledge gaps in low-dose-rate/dose radiation biology, informing safety standards and therapeutic interventions for at-risk populations.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation exposure plays a critical role in a wide range of medical, environmental, and occupational settings, leading to complex pathophysiological changes. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying radiation-induced tissue damage and cellular responses is essential for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advances in the field, focusing on the molecular pathways activated by radiation, the resulting biological effects, and innovative approaches to mitigate damage. Contributions are welcomed on topics such as radiation biology, oxidative stress, DNA repair, cellular signaling, and novel therapeutic interventions. By integrating multidisciplinary research, this Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms driving radiation-induced injuries and explore potential strategies to protect, repair, and restore affected tissues. We invite researchers, clinicians, and biotechnologists to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that advance our understanding of these critical processes and enhance the development of targeted therapies.
Thank you
Best wishes

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
