Novel Biological Molecules for Cancer Treatments 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

One of the cutting-edge topics in cancer biology is the search for new biological molecules for cancer treatments. Biological therapy has represented a breakthrough in the therapy of many types of cancer as it not only prevents or slows the growth of a tumor and prevents its spread, but also causes fewer toxic side effects. The spectrum of this innovative approach is widening every day due to new molecules or antibodies directed against selected molecules, which are expressed mainly or exclusively by cancer cells, or as a means to stimulate an active response of the immune system against cancer cells. This Special Issue is aimed at providing a survey of the molecules employed in the treatment of cancer acting on different molecular oncogenic pathways or in stimulating an active immune response to improve our therapeutic armamentarium against cancer and support a better prognosis.

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.
