Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we propose an approach centered around elucidating the mechanisms that underly tumorigenesis, anticancer drug resistance, and metastasis across diverse subtypes of breast cancer. This section encompasses analyses of protein interactions, genetic alterations, microenvironmental impacts, reactive oxygen species, and inflammatory processes. Breast cancer, arising from a collection of environmental and genetic perturbations, underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of these intricate pathways in order to inform the development of novel therapeutics and robust biomarkers. Of particular interest is the phenomenon wherein breast cancer recurrence manifests as a more aggressive phenotype, characterized by diminished prognosis and heightened metastatic propensity. Our intent is to delve deeper into this aspect, employing both medical and fundamental scientific perspectives, with the objective of identifying strategies to ameliorate the burden of disease recurrence while enhancing women’s quality of life.
This Special Issue is open to original research articles, short communications, and reviews.
Dr. Seungbaek Lee

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.
