Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cellular signaling mechanisms are intricately linked to homeostasis through events that control cell proliferation, survival and death. Aberrations in some of these mechanisms are often associated with oncogenic processes. Cancer cell signal transduction is a core process in tumor cell growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, involving multiple intricate biochemical reaction pathways. Research on this pathway provides insights into the mechanisms driving development and progression of different cancers.
There are many ways to study cancer cell signal transduction, including molecular biology, genetic engineering, protein chemistry, bioinformatics, etc. These may lead to identification of novel biomarkers and potential targets of therapy. Cancer cell signal transduction pathways are currently a research hotspot in cancer treatment, and their important role in it is gradually being discovered.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide new insights into the signal transduction mechanisms of tumor cell growth, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and apoptosis and their applications in cancer 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.
