Free Radical Research is pleased to announce the publication of a forum issue on protein post-translational modifications in cell signalling and disease.
This issue, guest edited by Francesco Galli and Enrique Cadenas, looks at the role of such modifications in apoptotic signalling and redox sensing, as well as their impact on mitochondrial proteins and functions. Connections between the latter and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular through increased oxidative stress, are discussed. The issue also points to links between protein modifications such as glycation, nitration or succination and metabolic disorders.
For more details, you can download the opening editorial for free and view the table of content page.
Free Radical Research is the official journal of the European and Asian branches of the Society for Free Radical Research. Discounted individual subscriptions are available to the members of these societies.

A Special Issue with a Special Offer: Downloads for Donations*
The International Journal of Hyperthermia marked Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a timely Special Issue on the use of hyperthermia as a treatment for this disease. To mark the Special Issue, Informa Healthcare is donating $1 for each download* of the issue’s free-access articles to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is the world's largest breast cancer charity dedicated to education and research about causes, treatment and the search for a cure.
To date, there have been 3,512 downloads of articles from the Special Issue!
Hyperthermia, as its name suggests, involves raising tumor temperature and the treatment is used to fight disease. Modern advancements in hyperthermia biology have led to refinements for individualized thermochemotherapy approaches to treatments as well as interesting potential for exploiting hyperthermia in conjunction with cancer vaccines. Interest in hyperthermia as a treatment for breast cancer has led to significant advances and research activity which, in turn, has had a significant impact on treatment protocol. Thanks to the volume of research and the impact of published articles, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) now includes hyperthermia in their Breast Cancer Guidelines as a treatment for recurrent cancer.
“The breadth of contributions from the authors in this issue highlights the tremendous progress that has occurred in the role of hyperthermia for the treatment of breast cancer,” says Dr Joan Bull, Co-Guest Editor of the Special Edition.. “This subject has garnered broad national and international interest in this cutting-edge treatment for one of the world’s most high-profile and, unfortunately, prolific diseases.” To view the complete list of articles in the issue, please click here. For more information on the Special Issue, please contact Senior Managing Editor Didi Peng.
*This applies to a full text download of any article from the Special Issue (Volume 26 Issue 7) with a maximum donation of up to $1,500.00.

Of abstract importance – new abstract style for 2011
The Expert Opinion journals recognise how important an article's abstract is in drawing in the interested reader. The clearer and more insightful the abstract, the more interest, and potentially more citations, the manuscript will attract. For original research and systematic reviews, structured abstracts are typically required, with guidance on how to prepare these provided by the CONSORT Group. For review articles with free, unstructured abstracts, however, it can be difficult to know how best to present the abstract and what information to include to best represent the full paper. To help authors prepare fitting abstracts and to provide consistency for readers across the Expert Opinion series, in 2011 we are requesting authors include the following in their abstracts for review articles:
- Introduction - describing the significance of the topic and reason for the review
- Areas covered - describing the research discussed and the literature review undertaken
- Expert opinion - summarising the article's 'Expert Opinion' section, a unique feature of all Expert Opinion reviews in which the author goes beyond the conclusion to provide their own personal view of the field
