State-of-the-Art Molecular Biology in Chile

Dear Colleagues,

Molecular biology has been fundamental to the study of different processes that occur in cell, tissue, and animal physiology. Indeed, this discipline has helped us to understand how the interaction between proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, etc. account for numerous celullar processes. Furthermore, molecular biology has served to unveil several pathways that became dysfunctional during pathological settings, helping to develop several tools to improve cell and tissue function.

Chilean scientists have a long tradition of continous contribution to the understanding of how cells/organisms works, and have used molecular biology as one valuable tool for this purpose. For this reason, the main aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advances in molecular and cell physiology performed by Chilean scientists where the use of molecular biology has been instrumental. This call for articles will include genetics, cell biology/physiology, and molecular biology experimental approaches. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Molecular biology in neurophsiology
• Molecular biology in physioloy and cellular physiology
• Molecular biology in genetics
• Molecular biology in immunology
• Molecular biology in pharcacology

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.
