Molecular Determinants of Neuroblastoma 2.0

Dear Colleagues, 

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumor, which usually occurs in children under 5 years of age. On the basis of clinical parameters, NB patients are classified as i) low-risk patients, which display localized tumors, with a good response to standard treatment and frequent spontaneous regression, or ii) high-risk patients, which usually display metastatic tumors, with a high frequency of relapse and a survival less than 50%. This Special Issue is focused on molecular determinants that are involved in i) malignant transformation of neuroblasts, ii) metastatic spread and iii) response to chemotherapy in NB patients.

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.
