Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is a series of processes crucial to define the composition of the proteome in all forms of life and diseases. Dysregulation of these processes has emerged as a crucial cause of many diseases. Moreover, malfunctioning of the signal transduction cascades targeting post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is also involved in the onset and progression of diverse phenotypes. Thus, research for the use and development of different pharmacological compounds targeting these processes of gene expression has become paramount to treat various diseases.
We dedicate this Special Issue to discussing the state-of-the-art of basic and clinical aspects of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- mRNA maturation;
- mRNA editing;
- mRNA export;
- mRNA storage;
- mRNA turnover;
- Translational control;
- Translation machinery;
- Signal transduction;
- Pharmacological research targeting cell machineries of post-transcriptional control;
- Clinical research on post-transcription-related diseases.
I thank the enthusiastic and excellent labor of all contributors and of the editorial team to make this collection on Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation of mRNA and Protein Expression possible.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Greco Hernández
Guest Editor
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.
