Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our ability to dig ever deeper into the cellular proteome is providing a more detailed understanding of the biology that governs human health. In particular, the realm of spatial proteomics is a rapidly evolving branch of this field which is garnering heightened interest given its potential to shed further light on how structured communities of individual cells function and interact within the context of their networked environment. This potential is further enhanced by the development of computational approaches, primarily based upon machine learning algorithms, capable of deciphering the most relevant proteomic findings within highly dimensional datasets.
We therefore invite academic and industrial investigators working in spatial proteomics to submit original research articles or reviews describing and discussing the most recent advancements and developments in this field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Instrumental developments;
- Untargeted spatial proteomics;
- Targeted spatial proteomics;
- Sub-cellular protein imaging;
- Clinical applications of spatial proteomics;
- Biocomputational approaches for the management of spatial proteomic datasets;
- Integration with data derived from complementary molecular levels (multi-omics).

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.
