Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to a Cells Special Issue, “Patient-Derived Prostate Cancer Models: PDXs, Organoids, and Others.”
Prostate cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related mortality in the world. Patient-derived prostate cancer models that closely represent the patients’ tumor are necessary for cancer discovery, anti-cancer drug development, and personalized cancer therapy. Research in the prostate cancer field is hampered by the limited number of human cell lines and xenograft models, However, during the last few decades, many advances in Patient-derived prostate cancer models, e.g., patient-derived xenograft (PDX), organoid, and other models are addressing the critical need. We will make an effort to attract the top modellers in the field to contribute to this Special Issue in the hope that this special collection will serve as the most informed resource for researchers and clinicians dealing with, or interested in, the use of Patient-derived prostate cancer models in cancer research. We expect that this Special Issue will propagate innovative concepts and prompt the development of ground-breaking technological solutions in the field.
We are looking forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

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.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
