Dear Italian Researchers working with PDT of cancer,
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an article to the “Topical Collection on Photodynamic Therapy-Enhanced Antitumor Immunity” for publication in Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences (PPS) – PPS is published under the Springer imprint as of 2021 and is the official journal of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) and the European Photochemistry Association (EPA).
In 1994, 30 years ago, antitumour immunity induced by PDT was demonstrated by Canti and co-workers. This collection is therefore dedicated to Professor emeritus Gianfranco Canti, University of Milan, Italy. What is more, it is his 75th anniversary this year! PDT and its effects on the host immune system has witnessed significant advancements. Still, there are several scientific gaps to fill.
With the “Topical Collection on Photodynamic Therapy-Enhanced Antitumor Immunity”, the editors Mladen Korbelik and Pål Kristian Selbo, aim to provide a comprehensive platform for original research, reviews, perspectives, communications, and technical notes and welcome submissions that address various aspects of PDT-enhanced antitumor immunity. Detailed information on the scope and topics covered in this topical collection can be found in our recent Editorial in PPS.
Please, submit your manuscript through the journal’s online submission system where you follow the guidelines provided on the PPS website. All manuscripts will be subject to external peer review and published immediately after acceptance on a dedicated area of the journal’s website for greater visibility and impact. The submission deadline is 15th of December 2024.
PPS is a Transformative Journal and you will have the option to choose how your article is published: Traditional publishing model – published articles are made available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to PPS or who pay to read specific articles. Open Access (OA) – when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). Check if your institution has a Springer Nature Open Access agreement.
We hope that you will be able to accept our invitation to contribute to this very special topical collection and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Mladen Korbelik and Pål Kristian Selbo, Editors
