New Advances in Proteomics for Understanding Health and Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Proteomics has become a central pillar of modern biomedical research, offering a direct view of the proteins that drive cellular functions, shape tissue identity, and underlie human health and disease. Recent advances in mass spectrometry, quantitative labeling strategies, and single-cell proteomics now allow researchers to measure thousands of proteins with unprecedented depth, precision, and spatial resolution. These technologies are transforming our ability to map signaling networks, characterize disease-specific protein signatures, and identify biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. At the same time, integrative approaches that combine proteomics with genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and structural biology provide a more complete picture of biological systems in both normal and pathological states. This topic aims to highlight innovative proteomic methods, novel biological insights, and translational applications that bridge basic research and clinical practice. By bringing together contributions from diverse areas—including cancer, immunity, metabolism, neurobiology, and infectious disease—we seek to showcase how proteomics is reshaping our understanding of health and disease and paving the way for more precise and personalized medicine.

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 communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
