Cell Death & Disease
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the frontiers of cell biology and therapeutic innovation.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cell Death Mechanisms:
The journal covers various forms of cell death including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy, exploring their molecular underpinnings and roles in disease processes. - Cancer Research:
A significant portion of the articles discusses the role of cell death in cancer biology, including mechanisms of resistance to therapies, tumor microenvironment interactions, and cancer stem cell dynamics. - Therapeutic Applications:
The journal publishes research on novel therapeutic approaches targeting cell death pathways, with implications for treating cancers and other diseases. - Molecular and Cellular Biology:
Research on the molecular signaling pathways that regulate cell death and survival, including studies on specific proteins, RNAs, and metabolic pathways, is a consistent focus. - Immunology and Inflammation:
The intersection of cell death mechanisms with immune responses and inflammation, particularly in the context of chronic diseases and cancer, is a key area of exploration.
Trending and Emerging
- Ferroptosis Research:
Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has gained significant attention, with numerous studies exploring its role in cancer and potential as a therapeutic target. - Exosomal Communication:
Research on the role of exosomes in mediating cell death and influencing the tumor microenvironment is on the rise, highlighting their importance in cancer progression and immune modulation. - Metabolic Reprogramming:
The interplay between cellular metabolism and cell death pathways is emerging as a critical area of study, with implications for understanding cancer metabolism and resistance to therapies. - Immune Evasion Mechanisms:
Studies focusing on how cancer cells evade immune detection through manipulation of cell death pathways and the immune microenvironment are increasingly prominent. - RNA Modifications:
The role of RNA modifications, particularly N6-methyladenosine (m6A), in regulating cell death and tumorigenesis is an emerging trend, indicating a shift toward understanding post-transcriptional regulation in cancer.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Cell Biology:
Research that focuses solely on fundamental aspects of cell biology without connecting to disease mechanisms appears to be declining, as the journal increasingly emphasizes translational and therapeutic implications. - Non-Cancer Related Cell Death Studies:
There is a noticeable reduction in publications specifically addressing cell death mechanisms outside of cancer, such as those related to metabolic diseases or neurodegenerative conditions, suggesting a more cancer-centric focus. - Traditional Apoptosis Studies:
While apoptosis remains a critical topic, there seems to be a waning interest in classical studies of apoptosis mechanisms in favor of exploring more complex interactions involving necroptosis and other forms of regulated cell death.
