Hormone Receptors and Signaling in Breast Cancer: Novel Targets and Therapeutic Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

The incidence of breast cancer, as the most frequently diagnosed and leading cause of cancer death in women, is now part of planetary awareness.

The activation of different hormone receptors via many intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence breast cancer cell biology, controlling cell phenotype as well as disease progression.

Deeply understanding the molecular mechanisms triggered by hormone receptors in breast cancer cells may provide valuable pharmacological targets to develop more effective anticancer treatments.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect original research and review articles on the latest findings focused on hormone receptor activation in breast cancer progression and metastasis, as well as on the applications of this knowledge for disease management.

As Guest Editors of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, we are pleased to invite your contribution to a Special Issue entitled “Hormone Receptors and Signaling in Breast Cancer: Novel Targets and Therapeutic Challenges”.

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.
