Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gene expression programs shape virtually every hallmark of cancer, influencing tumor initiation, progression, therapeutic resistance, and metastatic behavior. This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in understanding how transcriptional, epigenetic, and post-transcriptional mechanisms drive oncogenic phenotypes across tumor types. We welcome studies on regulatory networks controlling EMT, stemness, tumor microenvironment interactions, non-coding RNAs, splicing factors, isoform switching, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting gene regulation. This Special Issue will provide an integrative view of how dysregulated gene expression can be leveraged for improved diagnostics and treatment in cancer.
Best regards,
Dr. Karolina Bajdak-Rusinek
Guest Editor
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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
