Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a new Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, entitled “Recent Advances in Brain Cancers: Second Edition”.
Brain tumors in humans are still a challenge for clinicians and researchers. However, the overall prognosis has improved over the last few decades thanks to a better understanding of “why” these tumors occur and “how” we can treat them. Nevertheless, they are still often fatal diseases. Improving our knowledge of tumoral cellular characteristics, development, and response to treatments, as well as of the normal phenomena surrounding tissues, is necessary to improve patients’ survival and quality of life.
The scope of this issue will include studies on adult and pediatric brain tumors with various approaches to research (biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, molecular biophysics, molecular medicine, and all aspects of molecular research in chemistry). We are particularly interested in papers that answer longstanding questions, open new avenues of research, report unexpected findings, or change the way we think about brain cancers. Original reports and reviews will be considered. However, since IJMS is a journal focused on molecular science, purely clinical studies are not suitable.

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.
