Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to extend an invitation to you for our forthcoming Special Issue, "Biology of Brain Tumors: State of the Art and Future Directions". Brain tumors represent a complex and diverse group of neoplastic diseases originating within the central nervous system. Their heterogeneity, spanning from benign to highly aggressive forms, presents a formidable challenge. Recent advancements in genomics, molecular biology, and experimental techniques have unveiled the intricate biological landscapes underpinning the genesis and progression of brain tumors.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for in-depth exploration into the fundamental biology of brain tumors. We aspire to assemble a comprehensive collection of research articles and reviews that shed light on the biological underpinnings governing the initiation, growth, and diversity of brain tumors.
In our pursuit of a deeper comprehension of brain tumors, we welcome contributions in the form of original research articles and systematic reviews. Potential research areas include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular pathways and genetic determinants orchestrating brain tumor development.
- Intricacies of the tumor microenvironment and their roles in tumorigenesis.
- Epigenetic modifications and their influence on brain tumor heterogeneity.
- Emerging molecular diagnostic markers and cutting-edge techniques for their exploration.
- Insights into the molecular heterogeneity of brain tumor subtypes.
- Future directions in basic brain tumor biology research.
I look forward to receiving your contributions. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the fundamental biology of brain tumors.
Dr. Sonia Martial
Guest Editor
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. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
