Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new functions of transcription, splicing regulation, translation, and ribosomal control mechanisms are considered to be the therapeutic targets of cancer. These mechanisms are acquired and retained through evolution.
The developmental regulation of these cellular events and its induced RNA translation control are expected to introduce new possibilities for biological and medical applications in cancer research. There is also a report that the disruption of these molecular regulators can induce cancer as well as neural development disorders. There is no doubt that a greater understanding of the transcription, splicing regulation, associated RNA control, and translation with ribosomal synthesis mechanisms will help to advance cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Specific topics covered in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Alteration of gene transcription, splicing, ribosomal expression in cancer development;
- Bio-targets and agents of novel mechanisms in gene transcription, splicing, ribosomal expression for cancer treatment;
- Detection and screening of cancer;
- Cellular research and biomarkers for molecular targets of cancer;
- Epigenetics in cancer.

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.
