Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well acknowledged that in most transformed and tumour cells, intracellular signalling pathways are altered to be similar to those observed in untransformed cells. Considerable interest has been focused on understanding how these signalling pathways have been altered and how these differences can be used to devise potential therapeutic treatments that may enhance survival rates of cancer patients. In the area of melanoma research, much effort has been directed to understanding how those cells containing the BRAFV600E mutation can overcome treatment with specific inhibitors such as vemurafenib. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, “Alterations to Signalling Pathways in Cancer Cells 2023” will focus on how intracellular signalling pathways are altered in tumour cells. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that compare how these pathways differ to those seen in untransformed cells, and how they differ to those seen in untransformed cells or in tumour cells undergoing treatment. The results from these studies may provide useful information in devising treatments that may enhance the survival rates of cancer patients.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
