Discovery and Design for Novel Anti-cancer Products

Dear Colleages,

The research and development of anticancer products has always been a research hotspot. From natural origins to chemical synthesis and structure modification, from traditional formulations to novel drug delivery systems, from computer-aided drug design to virtual screening, the discovery and design of novel anticancer products is a never-ending topic.

This Special Issue will focus on the  huge number of anticancer products already in use or currently undergoing investigations. The discovery and design of anticancer products are not limited to the methods mentioned above. Indeed, cutting-edge research, including high-throughput screening, single-cell transcriptomics, genomics, nanoparticle platform, non-coding RNA, precision oncology, etc. in the fields of technological innovation and establishment of new theories, even the development of the pharmaceutical industry as well, is also within our scope. Review and original papers, regardless of whether theoretical or experimental in nature, are welcome.
