Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Genotoxicity

Dear Colleagues,

Genetic toxicology is an important part of molecular toxicology that addresses the problems of toxicity to the DNA in cells.

Topics to be covered may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Emerging contaminants and genetic change;
• Biochemical mechanism of genotoxicity;
• Molecular mechanism of genotoxicity;
• Genomic instability and carcinogenesis;
• DNA damage and cancer;
• Human health effects of genetic change;
• Endocrine disruptors and the DNA;
• Current approach in genotoxicity testing;
• Genotoxicity and epigenetics;
• Alternatives to laboratory animals in genotoxicity testing;
• DNA damage and repair;
• Genomic instability and gene expression analysis.

This Special Issue aims to provide new insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying genotoxicity and to indicate development perspectives. The paper presented in this issue will be of valuable interest to the scientific community in several research areas, including cell biology, physiopathology, toxicology, etc.

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.
