Cell Biology: State-of-the-Art and Perspectives in the British Isles

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of the-art of cell biology in the British Isles. We invite research papers that will consolidate our understanding in this broad area, both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The Special Issue will publish full research articles and comprehensive reviews. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following research areas:

Cell structure: organelles, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, nuclear envelope, capsule, cilia and flagella.

Cell physiology: cell growth, metabolism, protein synthesis and degradation,

cell cycle and cell division, DNA repair vesicle trafficking, intra- and

extracellular signalling, adhesion, redox biology, cell motility, cell aging and cell death, cell differentiation, multicellular development, stem cells.

OMICS: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, glycomics, lipidomics, interactomics, fluxomics, and biomics.

Cell techniques: cell and tissue culture, isolation and fractionation of cells,  immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, transfection, optogenetics, imaging (light microscopy, electron microscopy, superresolution), genetic manipulation, single-cell techniques.

Computational biology: modelling.

Cell biology of disease: genetic diseases, infectious diseases, cancer.

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. 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.
