Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue follows the publication of the first edition on “Recent Advances of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Infectious Diseases”.
It is a great pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue titled “Recent Advances of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Infectious Diseases”. Recent epidemic outbreaks of emerging, re-emerging, and neglected infectious diseases have demonstrated the importance of applying control and prevention measures. For such actions to be practical, the development of methods resulting from the improvement of molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology has leveraged innovation. However, the interpretation of results requires different levels of knowledge that may contribute to the emergence of new technologies, which, in turn, result in the development of new drugs, therapies, and more effective diagnoses. This Special Issue is open to all researchers, but mainly those from Brazil, studying emerging, re-emerging, and neglected infectious diseases at a molecular level. Original articles, as well as new perspectives or reviews, are welcome. Research in the fields of molecular studies in biology and chemistry, biochemistry of vaccines, molecular pathogenesis, genetic mutations, cloning and expression of proteins in plants and other systems, -omics, viral immunology, antiviral drugs, and tools to study these interactions at a molecular level are especially encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Salvatore G. De-Simone
Guest Editor
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.
