Novel Biomarkers and Cellular Mechanisms in Breast Cancer: Insights from In Vitro and In Vivo Single-Cell Studies Call for Papers

We are proud to announce a collection edited by Shicong Tang. This collection will showcase pioneering research utilizing single-cell transcriptomics to reveal novel biomarkers and elucidate cellular mechanisms underpinning breast cancer progression and treatment responses. The studies will encompass both in vitro and in vivo research, focusing on metabolic and immunological heterogeneity within the tumor microenvironment. 

Human Cancer Proteoforms Call for Papers

We are proud to announce a collection edited by Andy T. Y. Lau and Amy Yan-Ming Xu. We welcome articles on a range of topics including, but not limited to: novel functions of cancer-specific and systematic analysis of human proteoforms; cancer-specific proteoforms as diagnostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets, and the development of novel strategies to modulate proteoforms function in cancer therapy.
