Cell Communication and Signaling is calling for submissions to our Collection on Mechanisms and Etiology of Male Health Disorders: Hormones, Cancer, and Fertility. We invite papers that elucidate novel cell signaling pathways and mechanisms of action, as well as papers that address therapeutic strategies that target disease processes.

New Content ItemThis Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being

About the Collection

Normal male physiology is governed by a variety of homestatic factors that include hormonal signaling, aging and environmental factors, genetic and epigenetic influences, as well as regulated inter- and intra-cellular communications that affect cellular functions and gene expression. Many of the aforementioned processes go array in diseases that affect male health.

In this Collection, we call for original research and review articles that focus on the etiology and pathogenesis of male diseases at the molecular and cellular level.

Topics include, but not limited to, male cancers, hormonal signaling pathways, how male hormones and growth factors influence HPA axis, testicular function, and spermatogenesis, and genetics.

We invite papers that elucidate novel cell signaling pathways and mechanisms of action, as well as papers that address therapeutic strategies that target disease processes.

Our aim is to shed light on emerging themes in this research area highlighting discoveries that enrich our understanding of male diseases.

There are currently no articles in this collection.

Submission Guidelines

This Collection welcomes submissions of original research and review articles. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal.

Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. Please, select the appropriate Collection title “Mechanisms and Etiology of Male Health Disorders: Hormones, Cancer, and Fertility" under the “Details” tab during the submission stage.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer-review process. The peer-review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
