Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The activity of intracellular organelles is fundamental in shaping cell physiology. Their function is tightly controlled by their 'dynamics', the ensemble of processes that fine-tune their morphology, movement, and distribution within cells, as well as their interactions. There is some evidence that the dynamics of the same type of organelle may contribute differently to the physiology of different tissues. However, much remains to be discovered about this tissue specificity: How does the composition of the toolkit that controls organelle dynamics vary across tissues? What is the morphology and distribution of organelles in different cell types? How do they interact in tissues with different metabolic needs? We propose this Special Issue to address these questions; reviews, perspectives, and research articles with this aim are welcome.

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. Biomolecules 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.
