Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
From July 11 to 13, 2022, the 11th YBNCT Meeting will be organized as a hybrid event by our colleagues at the Budker Institute in Novosibirsk. The journal Cells has decided to publish a Special Issue for the occasion, with the stated goal of giving young scientists the opportunity to publish their research results in a high-ranking peer-reviewed journal. The publisher MDPI has further proposed that this Special Issue be included in the Special Issue Mentor Program. This program provides an opportunity for early career scientists (new faculty, postdoc graduate students, etc.) to enhance their editing, networking, and organizational skills, and to work closely with the journal to gain more editorial experience. Aleksandr Makarov and Iuliia Taskaeva will edit this Special Issue as guest editors with Prof. Sauerwein as a mentor.
The Special Issue is entitled "Cell Research for BNCT".
We invite your contributions, in the form of original research articles, reviews, or shorter perspective articles, on all cellular aspects related to the theme of BNCT.
Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Radiation biology for BNCT;
- Cell-based studies;
- Preclinical animal studies;
- Drug development for BNCT;
- Impact of BNCT on the proteomic profile and omics approaches;
- Boron imaging;
- Mechanisms of action of BNCT;
- Abscopal effect of BNCT;
- Early clinical trials;
- Biomarkers for therapeutic optimization.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
