Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels are ion channels originally found in fruit flies, and their mammalian homologues have been cloned, intensely characterized, and revealed to have extremely diverse and unique roles in terms of activating and inhibiting mechanisms, cellular signaling, and in vivo physiology. TRP channels are expressed in almost the entire body and are activated not only by molecular ligands but also, interestingly, by physical stimuli such as temperature, light, mechanical stimuli, etc. TRP channel signaling and interaction involve proteins, lipids, cations, and cellular trafficking to maintain homeostasis, the disruption of which can be a cause of diseases. In this Special Issue of Cells, we invited leading researchers in the TRP channel field to review the latest research findings and knowledge connecting molecular and cellular mechanisms to our health and diseases and to provide innovative inspiration to future research.

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.
