Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Cellular plasticity is the ability of a cell to change its phenotype in response to environmental cues, without a genetic mutation. In pathological conditions, especially neoplasms, plasticity is known to be enhanced.

Phenotypic heterogeneity of diseased cells caused by cellular plasticity is a major barrier to effective therapy. Deciphering the molecular basis of cellular plasticity in each pathological condition has the potential to contribute to novel therapeutic strategies, which could lead to deeper and better clinical responses.

In this Special Issue, we will publish reviews and original research that provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of cellular plasticity in disease.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
