Metabolic Adaptation Processes in Cancer: Transcriptomic, Proteomic and Metabolomic Studies

Dear Colleagues,

Deregulating cellular energetics is a crucial cancer hallmark, defined as the changes in cell metabolism to support the elevated proliferation rates in tumors. However, newer insights about the effects of metabolism on immune system evasion and cancer cell invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and chemotherapy resistance show that cancer reliance on metabolic changes is not limited to energy and building block production. This Special Issue in Cells aims to group new findings and views on how metabolic adaptation processes can both participate in tumorigenesis and be affected by it.

Original full-length papers and reviews that further describe how metabolism is reshaped during cancer emergence and metastasis are welcome. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, carbon cycling in cancer, tumor microenvironment and metabolism, immune system metabolism and cancer, and submissions that involve omics studies, such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.

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.
