Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DNA damage (lesions) continuously occurs in cellular DNA due to multiple internal and external factors. This includes physiological DNA breaks generated by specific enzymes during B and T lymphocyte development. Multiple DNA repair pathways exist to recognize, process and repair damaged or altered DNA. Additionally, the DNA damage response signaling pathway (DDR) is activated, involving enzymes that modify proteins, including histones within chromatin. Inefficient DNA repair is often linked to various diseases and syndromes affecting the immune system, nervous system, cancer development and aging.
We welcome original research manuscripts and review articles covering any aspects of DNA damage, mutagenesis and DNA repair for publication.
We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
