Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Self-assembly is a fundamental biological process that is involved in many cellular pathways, including endocytosis, infectious viral formation, and the formation of the cytoskeleton and other cellular structures. Understanding the molecular mechanisms and regulation of these pathways is crucial for the development of new therapies for diseases related to self-assembly, such as neurodegenerative diseases, prion diseases, lysosomal storage diseases, cancer, cardiac diseases, and immune system disorders.
We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore the latest advances and challenges in the molecular mechanisms and regulation of self-assembly pathways in the cell. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The control and spatio-temporal dynamics of self-assembly in cellular pathways.
- The molecular mechanisms and regulation of self-assembly in endocytosis and infectious viral formation.
- The molecular mechanisms and regulation of self-assembly in the cytoskeleton and other cellular structures.
- The role of self-assembly in neurodegenerative diseases, prion diseases, lysosomal storage diseases, cancer, cardiac diseases, and immune system disorders.
We welcome interdisciplinary approaches that integrate experimental and computational techniques to study self-assembly pathways in the cell.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
