Cell Biology: State-of-the-Art and Perspectives in France

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of cell biology in France. We invite research papers that will consolidate our understanding in this area. The Special Issue will publish full research articles and comprehensive reviews. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following research areas:

OMICS: transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, glycomics, lipidomics, interactomics, fluxomics, and biomics;

Cell structure: organelles, cytoskeleton, cell membrane, capsule, flagella, etc.;

Cell physiology: cell growth, metabolism, protein synthesis, division, movement of proteins, active/passive transport, intra- and extracellular signaling, adhesion, DNA repair, etc.;

Redox biology;

Reactive oxygen species homeostasis and antioxidants;

Cell movement and motility;

Autophagy;

Apoptosis;

Cell aging;

Cell techniques: cell and tissue culture, isolation and fractionation of cells, immunocytochemistry (ICC), in situ hybridization (ISH), transfection, and optogenetics;

Cell growth and differentiation;

Hematopoiesis and stem cells;

Cancer stem cells;

Genetic disorders;

CAR-T cell research.
