Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the development and progression of cancer, neoplastic cells acquire a series of genetic changes that result in drastic modifications both in how the cell responds to its environment and in the cell dynamics itself. Advancements in genomic technologies and next-generation sequencing have produced a wealth of information and provided substantial insights into the pathogenesis of diseases. Especially in cancer, these tools have been exceptionally useful for identifying novel signal transduction pathways, with a great potential for the discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. However, the translation of these findings into a breakthrough in the understanding of cancer biology and the care of cancer patients remains a major challenge.
This Special Issue highlights novel findings in cancer genomics arising from the combined use of computational tools, high-throughput sequencing technology, bioinformatics, cell biology and translational research to understand cancer biology, from genomics to cell signaling and from disease models to actual patients. Translational efforts to make the knowledge of cellular and molecular biology of cancer useful for patients with cancer, and research performed in understudied specific cancer patients, are of special interest.

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. 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.
