Overview of Cancer Metabolism

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cancers are characterized by a high metabolic heterogeneity, allowing cancer cells to survive and proliferate in harsh microenvironmental conditions, including hypoxia, acidosis, and limited availability of metabolic resources. In recent years, a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence has been obtained, suggesting that the metabolic plasticity of malignant cells plays a key role in cancer progression. Indeed, metabolic activities of cancer cells directly influence (epi)genetic modifications, intra- and inter-cellular signaling, metastatic processes, immune escape, and response of tumors to different anticancer therapies. Recent technical developments have allowed us to reveal the spatially and temporally resolved complexity of the metabolic networks within tumors and their role in tumor initiation and progression.

The aim of this Topic is to present new reports that advance our knowledge on tumor metabolism. We welcome the submissions of original research articles and reviews that focus on all aspects of cancer cell metabolism, with a special focus on the interactions between cancer cells and their microenvironment, as well as on the alterations of the various hallmarks of cancer. Apart from the contributions of conference participants, manuscripts are welcome from other interested research groups. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
