Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Cell Migration and Invasion", aims to explore the intricate mechanisms and regulatory pathways that govern these critical cellular processes within the broader context of cell biology. Cell migration and invasion play pivotal roles in various physiological and pathological conditions, including embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer metastasis. This issue will feature cutting-edge research on the molecular and cellular factors that drive cell motility, the role of the extracellular matrix and microenvironment, and the interplay between different signaling pathways.
Contributions will cover a wide range of topics, including the role of the cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, and innovative imaging techniques. Additionally, this issue will highlight novel therapeutic strategies and diagnostic tools for targeting cell migration and invasion in various diseases. By bringing together a diverse range of studies, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge and future directions in the field.
Dr. Veronika Miskolci
