Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates a wide array of cellular functions, including the control of cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking. Membrane trafficking is one of the primary functions of the cell, providing a crucial communication link between the cell and its environment and ensuring the transport of lipids and proteins in a timely manner. The interconnection of membrane trafficking with intra- and extracellular stimuli and stress represents a remarkable and dynamic mechanism that allows cells to respond to such stimuli. For this Special Issue entitled “mTOR regulation on Membrane Trafficking”, we are seeking novel research or review articles highlighting the variety of machinery and regulatory mechanisms used in membrane trafficking and the importance of how mTOR regulates membrane traffic, how mTOR-mediated cytoskeleton trafficking is interlinked with other cellular events and processes, and how mTOR-mediated dysfunctional trafficking machinery has implications in health and disease.

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. Membranes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
