Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to present the Special Issue in Cells entitled “Omics Technologies for Understanding Cell Pathophysiology”, which aims to collect articles focusing on the cutting-edge omics technologies that help to understand cell biology in physiology and pathology settings.
A cell's phenotype continually changes to adapt to the environment and respond to functional demands, and disease arises when this is not possible.
As we delve deeper into the complexity of cell biology, we learn more about the regulation of physiological and pathological processes and how these are influenced by the interaction between endogenous and exogenous factors at the interface of genetics and epigenetics.
Omics technologies are continuously developing and allow us to understand in detail the mechanisms that regulate the cell's behavior in response to microenvironmental stimuli.
We need to bring together the molecular knowledge about genes, splicing, epigenetic regulations, the proteome and the metabolism, and how these change in response to environmental stimuli.
Understanding this complexity is instrumental for preserving health, preventing disease, assuring health ageing, and designing personalized treatment for specific diseases.
This Special Issue will feature a curated selection of papers from esteemed experts in the translational applications of cellular omics technologies, and in vitro/in silico modeling.
We welcome contributions on the applications (e.g., diagnosis, personalized therapy) in health and disease of innovative cellular omics technologies, including genomics, epigenomics, spliceosomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, exosomics, immunomics, and their impact on cell behavior, including cell signaling, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell senescence and cell transformation.
We hope that the knowledge shared within this Special Issue will stimulate further research and discussions, fostering advancements in the field of cell biology and pathophysiology.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
