Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DNA damage is widely acknowledged as a pivotal factor in the development and progression of cancer. Lesions in the DNA result in the formation of abnormal nucleotides or nucleotide fragments, leading to breaks in one or both strands of the DNA molecule. Such damage significantly increases the likelihood of mutations. Genomic instability stands out as one of the primary drivers of cancer development. DNA repair pathways play a crucial role in rectifying DNA lesions caused by damaging agents or carcinogens, thereby preserving genomic stability. Inadequate DNA repair mechanisms represent a critical catalyst in the establishment, progression, and evolution of cancer. The wealth of cancer-related genomic data is enabling more precise diagnoses and tailored treatment strategies, a paradigm known as precision medicine. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions from diverse fields encompassing carcinogenesis, DNA damage, DNA repair, genomic instability, and related areas. It is important to note that our pre-screening process does not favor dry lab studies or clinical case reports lacking substantive representation.

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.
