Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Calcium (Ca2+) signaling plays a pivotal role in a wide range of physiological processes, including gene expression, cell proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis. The dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, and immune dysfunction. This Special Issue of Cells will highlight recent advances in our understanding of how Ca2+ signaling is regulated under physiological and pathological conditions. We welcome original research articles and reviews that explore molecular mechanisms, disease models, therapeutic targets, and novel imaging or analytical tools related to Ca2+ signaling in human health and disease.

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 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-blind peer-review process.
