Advances in Chemoprevention: Development of Ligands Interfering with the Carcinogenesis

Dear Colleagues,

Chemoprevention is one of the important strategies that can be employed in fighting many different types of cancer. Much research in recent years has been devoted to the understanding of biological pathways that can be utilized in chemopreventive strategies and the validation of possible chemopreventive targets using in vitro and in vivo models. Despite a large volume of research, some cancers, including lung cancer, are still lacking effective chemopreventive agents. In this Issue, we are welcoming reports of the most recent advances in the identification of novel targets for chemoprevention; the design of novel ligands with the ability to interfere with carcinogenesis and their evaluation in vitro and in vivo; as well as papers describing novel in vitro and in vivo models for developing chemopreventive agents.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
