Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is an essential cellular mechanism that controls the biogenesis, trafficking, folding and degradation of proteins in cells. Perturbations in protein homeostasis may lead to the aberrant accumulation/aggregation of misfolded proteins, trigger stress responses, or excessive protein degradation. Dysregulation of proteostasis has been implicated in many human diseases and aging as well as organismal health.
For this Special issue, we welcome original research and mini-review articles covering the mechanistic aspects of protein homoestasis including proteostasis in organelles, proteostasis in disease and aging. Articles discussing methodological approaches with test tubes, living cells or organisms are also encouraged.

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.
