Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to announce the third edition of the Special Issue "Cell Biology: State of the Art and Perspectives in Italy 2025". Following the success of the previous two editions, this new installment continues to celebrate the remarkable advancements and contributions of the Italian scientific community to the field of cell biology.
This Special Issue provides a dynamic platform that highlights groundbreaking research, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and inspires innovation within the field. By showcasing recent discoveries, technologies, and perspectives, we aim to elucidate the intricate mechanisms of cellular life and their far-reaching implications.
In this edition, we look forward to receiving contributions that explore both fundamental and applied aspects of cell biology. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Cell structure: organelles, cytoskeleton, cell membranes, flagella, etc.;
- Cell physiology: metabolism, protein synthesis, DNA repair, intracellular signaling, transport mechanisms, etc.;
- Cellular processes: autophagy, apoptosis, motility, aging, growth, and differentiation;
- Hematopoiesis and stem cells, including cancer stem cells and CAR-T cell research;
- Genetic disorders and their cellular basis;
- Advanced cell techniques: tissue culture, cell isolation, ICC, ISH, transfection, optogenetics, etc.
This Special Issue seeks to emphasize the interdisciplinary and translational nature of cell biology, highlighting its critical role in addressing global challenges and advancing knowledge in the life sciences. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and communications that reflect the diversity, creativity, and excellence of Italian cell biology research in 2025.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to building upon the strong foundation established in the earlier editions. Together, let us continue to push the boundaries of our understanding of cell biology and inspire impactful scientific collaborations.
Dr. Vincenzo Carafa
Guest Editor
