Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of the rapid growth of molecular sciences, immunotherapy, pharmacology and biomedicine in general, it is important to know how different molecular and biochemical mechanisms affect the ultrastructural features of cells and tissues. The electron microscope is an indispensable tool in the study of cell structure, whether we study the basic cell structure or structural changes caused by disease or environmental influence.
This Special Issue focuses on studies that aimed to investigate cell and tissue structure at the level of a transmission (TEM) or scanning (SEM) electron microscope in order to elucidate the pathological changes in cell structure caused by different internal or external factors, and improvements in cell structure caused by various molecular mechanisms or therapeutic treatments. A special focus is given to the immuno-labeling of various proteins expressed in cells exposed to diseases, harmful environmental influences or different treatments. Please note that pure clinical studies are not suitable for the journal but clinical or pure model submission based on biomolecular experiments are very welcome.

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.
