Novel Insight into Cell Cycle and Proliferation: Impact on Pathophysiology and Translational Medicine
This special issue belongs to the section "Cell Proliferation and Division".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proposed Issue is focused on novel pathways involved in the regulation of the cell cycle and proliferation in animal cells. Emerging factors regulating cell proliferation are of interest at this time. The gene encoding for growth factors and cytosolic and membrane proteins may affect the cell cycle inhibiting proliferation or inducing proliferation. Ion channel subunits and transporters, for instance, are some of the latest factors that were demonstrated to be capable of regulating the cell cycle and proliferation. The novel role of kinases and enzymes of the inflammatory cascades that can be targeted regulating cell proliferation is also of interest. The collected “in vitro” data should have translational significance when validated in animal models of diseases, especially cancers and inflammatory based-diseases, or in robust “in vitro” models of diseases. The signaling pathway hypothesis and the mechanism regulating proliferation in normal and disease conditions need to be discovered. We do not include papers related to the epidemiology of disease at this time.

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 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-anonymized 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.
