Feature Papers in “Molecular Biology”
This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular Biology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Topical Collection entitled “Feature Papers in “Molecular Biology”” aims to collect high-quality research articles, communications, and review articles in cutting-edge fields of molecular biology. Since the aim of this Topical Collection is to illustrate, through selected works, frontier research in molecular biology, we encourage Editorial Board Members of the Molecular Biology Section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their research field, or to invite relevant experts and colleagues to do so.
Topics include, but are not limited to,
- Biological activities at the molecular level;
- Biological processes of cell functions and maintenance;
- Molecular processes of cell division, senescence and cell death;
- Biomolecules interactions and cell-to-cell communication;
- DNA, and RNA biosynthesis, metabolism, interactions and functions;
- Protein biosynthesis, degradation and functions;
- Regulation of molecular interactions in a cell;
- Molecular processes of cell and organelle dynamics;
- Gene functions, genetics, and genomics;
- Signaling networks and system biology;
- Advanced techniques of molecular biology;
- Structural biology;
- Developmental biology;
- Chemical biology;
- Computational biology;
- Molecular methodologies, imaging techniques, and bioinformatics.

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
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
