Feature Papers in Autophagy

Dear Colleagues,

This Topical Collection “Feature Papers in Autophagy” aims to collect high-quality research articles, review articles, and communications (including opinion and hypothesis papers) in all fields of autophagy, with a focus on molecular and cell biological research. Since the aim of this Topical Collection is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in autophagy, we encourage Editorial Board Members of Cells or relevant experts and colleagues to contribute papers reflecting the latest progress in their particular research field.

Topics include, without being limited to:

• Molecular machinery and regulation of autophagic pathways
• Cellular functions of autophagy-related proteins and autophagy receptors (including non-autophagic functions)
• Regulation of autophagy by Intra- and Extracellular Signaling
• Molecular mechanisms of selective autophagy
• Methods to monitor autophagy

Role, interplay, involvement or function of autophagy in:

• Cell Physiology
• Cellular Metabolism
• Cellular Immunology
• Intra- and Extracellular Signaling
• Cell Movement and Motility
• Apoptosis
• Cell Aging, Senescence
• Cell Growth and Differentiation
• Stem Cells
• Disease, Genetic Disorders and Therapy
• Plant, Algae and Fungi Cell Biology
• Neurodegeneration, Neuroinflammation

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.
