Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cells are the fundamental units of life, executing a wide range of biological functions through tightly regulated molecular and structural mechanisms. From signal transduction and gene expression to organelle dynamics and metabolic coordination, cellular regulation ensures both the maintenance of homeostasis and responsiveness to environmental cues. These regulatory processes are essential not only for normal development and tissue function but also for the progression of various diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and immune disorders.
Recent advances in imaging, omics technologies, and computational modeling have provided unprecedented insights into the spatial and temporal orchestration of cellular functions. Furthermore, the integration of systems biology approaches has uncovered new layers of complexity in cell behavior and regulation.
This Special Issue, entitled “Cell Regulation and Function”, welcomes contributions from all areas of in vivo and in vitro research that explore novel physiological and pathological mechanisms of cellular regulation.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
