Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Applications in Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims at collecting results of cutting-edge research on the use of Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) in medicine and health. The interaction between EMF and biological tissues opens the path to a broad range of applications. Those span from low-frequency (LF) applications, such as neurostimulation and neuromodulation of the central and peripheral nervous systems, LF imaging, cancer treatment and EMF-assisted drug and cell delivery, pulsed EF and EMF, to high-frequency (HF) and Radio Frequency (RF) applications.

We are interested in both experimental in vitro and in vivo studies as well as in computational studies for the design, optimization and evaluation of innovative EMF-based techniques, systems and materials.

The Special Issue aims to cover the most urgent gaps in knowledge with a multi-disciplinary and multi-scale approach. Therefore, contributions are invited in the form of research articles, reports, and reviews from all science and engineering disciplines focused on EMF applications

Research related to the following topics, but not limited to, are invited for this Special Issue:

• Innovative strategies in Neuromodulation and Neurostimulation;
• EMF-based imaging techniques;
• EMF-assisted drug delivery through magnetic or magnetoelectric nanoparticles, electroporation;
• EMF-based innovative systems and materials in medicine;
• Pulsed EMF applications;
• RF ablation, Hyperthermia;
• EMF applications’ safety.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
