Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Innovative Biological Molecules for Cancer Therapy”, focuses on the latest breakthroughs in the development of new biological molecules that offer promising advances in cancer treatment. This issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on molecules that can effectively inhibit or slow tumor growth and prevent cancer spread with fewer toxic side effects than traditional therapies. The focus is on exploring diverse molecular strategies that improve the precision and efficacy of cancer treatment, leading to better patient outcomes. This Special Issue will highlight innovative approaches to creating and using biological molecules, such as antibodies, peptides, and nucleic acid-based therapies, that target cancer cells more selectively while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. By improving the specificity and reducing the toxicity of cancer therapies, these novel molecules have the potential to significantly advance current therapeutic strategies.
Therefore, contributions that investigate the design, development, and clinical application of these molecules and their integration into existing treatment protocols are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue will serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, clinicians, and pharmaceutical professionals, providing information on the next generation of cancer therapies and their potential to transform the landscape of oncology.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
