Special Issue on Mechanisms of Oncogenesis
Carcinogenesis or oncogenesis is caused by mutation and epimutation of the genetic
materials of normal cell, which disrupts the normal balance between
proliferation and cell death. This results in uncontrolled cell division and often
rapid proliferation of cells. Some types of these cells may turn into malignant
tumors which can invade other organs, spread to other locations and become
life-threatening. Considering the big threat to human life, further research
and deep understanding of the Mechanisms
of Oncogenesis is necessary and significant.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring mechanisms of oncogenesis. Potential
topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Mutations and DNA damage
-
Cancer cells
-
Oncogenes
-
Viral infection and oncogenesis
-
Related biochemical molecules
-
Cancer stem cells
-
Clonal evolution
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Mechanisms of
Oncogenesis” should be
chosen during your submission.
