Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carcinogenesis, tumor growth, and cancer progression are classified as complex multifactorial tissue-dependent processes. Furthermore, tumor growth and progression are primarily stimulated by genetic predispositions or environmental causes, or a combination of the two. Genetic and epigenetic modifications are important in many diseases, especially in cancer development where cells are able to proliferate and escape the mechanisms that normally control their survival and migration. Cancer cells show extensive alterations in protein expression levels and in protein phosphorylation. A complete characterization of the altered proteins in cancer versus normal cells can also help explain multidrug resistance, therapy-related side effects, and disease recurrence after therapy. Proteomic profile data can be used to elucidate cancer biology and metastasis processes in detail and drive the development of novel drug targets.
This Special Issue of IJMS focuses on the proteins involved in the signaling pathways implicated in cancer biogenesis and progress.

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.
