About this Research Topic
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Cell Death is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of cell death and cellular stress and survival. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of crosslinks, intersections and pathways research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
We particularly invite submissions from those women researchers coming from less privileged countries and communities to help emphasize the cross-cultural and cross-communal aspects of scientific research.
For this topic, we encourage submissions that cover, but are not limited to:
- Interplay between autophagy and oxidative stress
- ER stress and autophagy
- How cell stress contributes to survival
- Studies using model organisms
Please note that to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
