Molecules in Metastasis
Molecules in Metastasis articles provide a concise overview of the current knowledge about specific molecules that play a functional role in cancer metastasis in the form of a mini review. In contrast to full review articles, these articles provide a brief and comprehensive introduction into the metastasis-relevant molecular biology and cellular functions of a single or small family of molecules, as well as their clinical importance as appropriate. These articles should be easy to read and assimilate, and should provide an authoritative primer for those new to the field. Emphasis is placed on brevity and conciseness in these articles.
This type of article should usually fit into a maximum of four journal pages (circa 2,500 words) with a maximum of 3 tables and figures and an upper limit of about 70 references. Manuscripts should include information about:
- Domain structure of the protein(s) and structural aspects as appropriate
- Physiological molecular and cellular functions
- Specific functional roles in cancer metastasis biology
- Potential as a predictive, prognostic or therapeutic target
