Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Carcinogenesis publishes research on the mechanisms of cancer development. Articles investigate the role of genetic alterations, signaling pathways (such as Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β, MEK/ERK), and cellular processes like epithelial-mesenchymal transition in various cancers, including liver, breast, and lung cancer. The journal also covers the impact of environmental factors and exposures, such as tobacco smoke, asbestos, and microplastics, on carcinogenesis, as well as the influence of the tumor microenvironment and immune cells.
