Animal and Plant Cell–Tissue, Organ Specialization and Function: Investigational, Experimental and Medical Aspects

Dear Colleagues,

The cell, subcellular and extracellular component organization at structural, molecular and biophysical levels including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs in health and desease still needs investigations. In this Special Issue, article on various aspects of cell biology e.g. cell compartments, organella and membrane biogenesis and dynamics, macromolecules and their intracellular transport, whole-cell locomotion, cytoskeleton organization, signaling and regulatory cascades, the cell-cycle and cell-to-cell communication are especially welcome. Novel insights into structure, specialization, function and physiology of cells, tissues and organs together with medical aspects of cell biology are invited. Environmental and toxicologic effects on tissue and organ function will be of special interest. Integrative actions of gene and their products, regulatory mechnisms as well as their impact on the development, regeneration of tissue structural and functional status  including the use of newly described and advanced methods/techniques will be especially accepted.

Therefore, in this Special Issue of IJMS, we invite you to submit both review and original papers on the topic of widely understood cell biology.

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-anonymized 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.
