Call for Papers: Special Issue Septin biology

A convergence of basic biomedical research from several fields has demonstrated that septins represent
a novel family of GTP binding proteins that comprise a previously unrecognized filamentous
cytoskeleton in cells. Septins are well known for their roles in cytokinesis and have also been shown to
play critical roles in various cellular processes including vesicle trafficking, membrane dynamics and
host-pathogen interactions. Septins have also been associated with a wide array of diseases such as
neoplasia, neurodegenerative diseases, infertility, ciliopathies and infection. Many fundamental
advances have been recently achieved in septin biology. It is therefore imperative for researchers
focused on diverse topics to share knowledge and novel insights to promote advancement of this field.

Cytoskeleton is calling for submissions of original studies that cover recent advances in the field of
septin biology. Their further effects on human health in mechanisms are welcomed. Reviews which are
well summarized and of far-sighted prospects are also encouraged. The topics about septin biology are
including but not limited to:

-Cell division

-Neurogenesis

-Membrane dynamics

-Animal models

-Host-pathogen interactions

-Cytoskeleton biology

-Evolution

-Tool development

-Mechanobiology

-Structure / assembly

Authors are encouraged to contact the Guest Editors for further information. The deadline for
submission is December 1st, 2022.

Submission guidelines:

See the journal’s Author Guidelines for further information on article types. Papers must be submitted
electronically via https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/CM

During submission, please select “Septin biology” when answering the “Is this submission for a special
issue?” question found in the Additional Information section of the author submission process to ensure
that your submission is considered for the appropriate special issue.
