Special Issue on DNA Damage
and Repair
DNA
damage, due to
environmental factors and normal metabolic processes inside the cell, can be
subdivided into two main types: endogenous damage and exogenous damage. Damage
to DNA alters the spatial configuration of the helix, and such alterations can
be detected by the cell. Once damage is localized, specific DNA repair
molecules bind at or near the site of damage and form a complex that enables
the actual repair to take place. Further study on the mechanism of DNA Damage and Repair which can help us
have a better understanding of genes and related disease is significantly important and valuable.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on
exploring DNA Damage and Repair.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Structure and
function of DNA
-
DNA damage
-
DNA repair
mechanisms
-
DNA repair and
aging
-
DNA repair and diseases
(cancer, etc.)
-
Medicine and DNA repair modulation
-
Gene therapy
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully
before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of
their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue - DNA Damage and Repair” should be
chosen during your submission.
According to the following
timetable:
