Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The inflammatory response is activated by a complex network of exogenous and endogenous warning signals that bring about either repair and homeostasis or disease. The tissue microenvironment is essential in dictating these alternative responses by engendering cellular pathways of stress, such as those related to the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria. The hyperthermic response (i.e., fever) seems to be the link among different cell types and molecular stressors, indicating that other inflammation-related events might be responsible for alterations in the microenvironment. This topic collection aims to unveil the composite roles of molecular stress responses in cancer, chronic inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. It is undoubtful that an in-depth knowledge of these pathways will indicate how to bring forth both novel biomarkers and therapeutic approaches for these important diseases.

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 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. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
