mTOR Signaling in Anti-cancer Therapy Research

Dear Colleagues,

The mechanistic target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is the main signaling cascade activated in various cancer cells, and its activation can promote carcinogenesis. The mTOR signaling pathway not only regulates gene transcription and protein synthesis to regulate cell proliferation and immune cell differentiation but also plays an important role in cancer metabolism. The mTOR pathway is potentially associated with apoptosis and autophagy and plays a key role in cancer. As a result, the mTOR signaling pathway is a popular target in anti-cancer therapy research.

This Special Issue concentrates on the role of the mTOR signaling pathway in anti-cancer therapy research. The papers published here will certainly contribute to the ever-growing cancer research and provide a new insight into the anti-cancer mechanism.

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.
