Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Membrane transporters and channels emerge as key players orchestrating cellular functions. At the heart of molecular processes, the intricate mechanisms and regulatory functions of transporters and channels come into sharp focus. This collection of research explores their molecular intricacies, unveiling the profound implications for cellular homeostasis.
This Special Issue addresses the latest research advances in membrane transport proteins, and we sincerely welcome high-quality original research and review papers. Possible research themes include but are not limited to the following:
- Regulatory mechanisms of drug transport proteins;
- Ion channels and cellular excitability;
- Membrane transport and metabolic disorders;
- Aberrant transport in tumor cells;
- Membrane channel studies in neurodegenerative diseases.
By bridging disciplines such as biochemistry, biophysics, and pharmacology, this Special Issue hopes to foster a deeper understanding of the roles played by membrane transporters and channels in health and diseases.

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. 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.
