Call for Papers: 2012 Special Issue on Intercellular communication in leukemia development and function

In this special issue we focus on intercellular communication between malignant cells and their surroundings environments. This includes communication via soluble as well as adhesion molecules. Therefore, communication mechanisms related to and found in peripheral blood, grafts and in situ are relevant.

 

JHM is an international open access peer-reviewed journal published by Sciedu Press. JHA is providing a forum for peer-reviewed article, manuscript, reviews or commentary related to all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of malignancies of the blood system, as well as related molecular and cell biology, genetics, pathophysiology, epidemiology, and randomized controlled trials and evidence-based meta-analysis or pooled analysis related to specific trials.

In this special issue we focus on intercellular communication between malignant cells and their surroundings environments. This includes communication via soluble as well as adhesion molecules. Therefore, communication mechanisms related to and found in peripheral blood, grafts and in situ are relevant.

 

Relevant subtopics for this special issue include:

  • bone marrow stroma cell interactions
  • leukemic cell - immune cell interactions
  • leukemic cell - platelet interactions
  • leukemic cell - endothelial cell interactions
  • leukemic cell - matrix interactions
  • cancer niche
  • stem cell niche
  • bone marrow niche
  • adhesion molecules
  • endogenous soluble growth factors
  • gap junctions
  • cell-cell interactions and signaling pathways
  • apoptosis regulation by cell-cell interactions
  • proliferation regulation by cell-cell interactions
  • stem cell grafts and contaminating malignant cells

 

To facilitate rapid publication and to minimize administrative costs, JHM accepts online and e-mail submission.
