Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

MDPI is pleased to announce its participation in supporting the Resource Identification Initiative. This project is aimed at improving traceability, reproducibility and reuse of materials reported in Life Sciences literature. Resources such as antibodies, cell lines, model organism and other tools (software and databases) are assigned unique searchable Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), used for referencing purposes. Readers can then easily identify the resources cited, vendors and also other articles that report the same resource in a simple and convenient manner. MDPI strongly encourages authors in the fields of Life Sciences and Biomedical research to cite materials using the RRID identifiers.
