Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exposure to ionizing radiation triggers complex cascades of molecular events that mediate the cellular response to radiation exposure. Advanced proteomic approaches provide powerful tools to define the cellular pathways and networks adversely affected following irradiation. This fact has been clearly demonstrated not just in the context of basic mechanistic radiation biology but also to predict future adverse outcomes of exposures, including radiation-induced neurocognitive impairments before they manifest. Proteomic analyses have also been proven to provide essential information in clinical scenarios, allowing for a better understanding of normal tissue injury and tumorigenic responses to radiation therapy and to predict treatment outcomes. Innovative proteomic approaches will lead to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying this wide range of radiation responses and their functional consequences.
For this Special Issue “Proteomics in Radiation Research”, we invite authors to contribute original research articles, methods papers, as well as review articles highlighting the cutting-edge developments in the fields of radiation proteomics.
- Biodosimetry for the detection of exposures and to distinguish radiation quality and dose;
- Clinical proteomics to characterize the normal tissue and tumor response to radiotherapies;
- Predictive biomarkers of subsequent radiation-induced pathologies;
- Proteomic profiling in parallel with other -omics technologies to define the radiation response;
- New advances in proteomics to define tissue-specific responses from circulating biomarkers.

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. Proteomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
