Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Molecular Biology of Protein Kinases: Regulatory Mechanisms, Therapeutic Targets and Cancer Treatments”, aims to present research on the pivotal roles played by protein kinases in both physiological and pathological contexts. As key regulators within cellular signaling cascades, protein kinases facilitate crucial biological functions, such as cell growth, differentiation, and programmed cell death, in addition to modulating responses to environmental cues. The aberrant regulation of these enzymes is frequently associated with the development of a wide array of diseases, with cancer being a primary focus due to the critical role played by kinases in tumor genesis and progression. We call for submissions that explore the complex molecular biology of protein kinases, shedding light on how they are regulated, introducing new targets for therapy, and promoting the creation of innovative kinase inhibitors. Contributions may extend from the fundamental aspects of kinase research, including biochemistry and structural analysis, to application-driven studies aiming to connect kinase pathways for therapy.

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.
