Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges to global health, with millions of new cases diagnosed annually. The dynamic nature of cancer pathology necessitates the continuous research and development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the International Journal of Molecular Sciences is seeking submissions for a Special Issue entitled “The Discovery and Characterization of New Oncological Molecules”, which is dedicated to exploring groundbreaking molecular discoveries in the field of oncology.
This Special Issue aims to highlight novel molecules and their applications in cancer therapy, elucidating the latest advancements in molecular medicine that have the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that focus on the discovery, characterization, and clinical application of novel oncological molecules. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, molecular mechanisms of action, drug delivery systems, and resistance to cancer therapy.
By presenting a collection of high-quality research articles, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of molecular oncology, offering valuable insights into the development of more effective and less toxic cancer treatments.
We invite researchers and academics from across the globe to contribute their work to this Special Issue. Via rigorous peer-review and rapid publication processes, we aim to disseminate cutting-edge research that will educate and inspire the scientific community, ultimately contributing to the advancement of molecular medicine in the battle against cancer.
