Scope & Guideline
Illuminating the science behind cellular mortality.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Mechanisms of Regulated Cell Death:
The journal emphasizes the exploration of various regulated cell death mechanisms, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, contributing to the understanding of how these processes influence disease progression and therapy response. - Cancer Research and Therapeutics:
A core focus is on cancer biology, particularly how cell death pathways can be targeted to enhance therapeutic efficacy and combat drug resistance, including studies on the role of non-coding RNAs and metabolic pathways. - Cellular Stress Responses and Disease:
Research articles often explore how cellular stress responses, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress, can lead to cell death and contribute to diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration. - Intercellular Communication:
The journal covers the role of extracellular vesicles and other forms of intercellular communication in modulating cell death processes, highlighting their implications in cancer metastasis and therapeutic responses. - Innovative Therapeutic Approaches:
There is a consistent focus on novel therapeutic strategies targeting cell death pathways, including the use of small molecules, genetic manipulation, and immunotherapy, to improve treatment outcomes.
Trending and Emerging
- Ferroptosis Research:
Ferroptosis is increasingly recognized as a critical form of regulated cell death with significant implications in cancer therapy and neurodegeneration, leading to a surge in research aimed at understanding its mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. - MicroRNA and Non-Coding RNA Roles:
The exploration of microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs in regulating cell death pathways is gaining importance, as these molecules are identified as key modulators in various diseases, particularly cancer. - Immunotherapy and Cell Death Interplay:
There is a growing interest in the relationship between cell death mechanisms and immunotherapy, particularly how different forms of cell death can influence immune responses and cancer treatment outcomes. - Metabolic Regulation of Cell Death:
Research is increasingly focusing on the metabolic reprogramming of cells and its impact on cell death pathways, particularly in the context of cancer and metabolic diseases. - Extracellular Vesicles in Cell Communication:
The role of extracellular vesicles in mediating communication between cells and their influence on cell death processes is becoming a prominent area of study, indicating a shift towards understanding intercellular signaling in health and disease.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Apoptosis Pathways:
Research on classical apoptosis mechanisms, while still relevant, has seen a relative decline in favor of more complex and less understood forms of cell death, such as ferroptosis and pyroptosis. - Single-Pathway Approaches:
Studies focusing solely on individual cell death pathways without considering the interplay between different forms of regulated cell death are becoming less common, as researchers emphasize the multifaceted nature of these processes. - Basic Mechanistic Studies:
There is a noticeable shift away from purely mechanistic studies of cell death pathways towards applications in therapeutic development, reflecting a growing interest in translational research. - In vitro Models:
The use of traditional in vitro models for studying cell death is waning, with a greater emphasis now on more complex in vivo systems and organoid models that better mimic human disease.
