Signal Transduction Pathways Involved in Regulation of Normal and Tumour Cells

The human body consists of approximately 100,000 billion cells, necessitating their well-orchestrated interaction to guarantee proper functionality. An important form of intercellular communication functions via signalling cues released in the microenvironment. Subsequently, the entire autocrine and paracrine information in the approximate surrounding is converted to a cellular response. Disturbances in the multilayered network of signal transduction harm the cellular adjustment and result in diseases like cancer. Malignancy-inducing alterations in cancer cells frequently affect the intensity and duration of the transduced signals within the cell by striking molecules either directly involved in receiving and processing information or fulfilling a function as inhibitory and regulatory constraints of these processes.

In the Special Issue “Signal Transduction Pathways Involved in Regulation of Normal and Tumor Cells” we welcome manuscripts, either original work or review articles, focused on molecules or mechanisms involved in the transduction of signals.

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.
