Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the application of digital pathology (DP) solutions as a key method in pathology and biomarker research. In this Special Issue, we focus on classical image analysis and new approaches using AI-based solutions and deep learning algorithms. This should underline our title “current issues and trends” in digital pathology. In any case, the authors should demonstrate that the part of digital pathology is a predominant and relevant method to get results, and it is direct towards the implementation of new ideas. In our opinion, the participation of experts in the field using leading methods in digital pathology is important to guide readers and DIA users. Papers about non-malignant tissue as well as about malignancies are welcome. When AI solutions are used, details of training and validation sets are welcome and we invite you to upload datasets to supplement data. This can be useful to lead new scientists into the huge field of AI solutions and to demonstrate the power of new approaches that should be the basis of this Special Issue. Particularly welcome will be works that validate, also at the experimental level, data using AI and neuronal nets or deep learning algorithms at any stage in digital pathology.
In situ applications (e.g., FISH or CISH) are reconsidered on the same level as bright-field microscopy. Original papers and case reports are welcome. Your work should encourage young scientists to work with digital pathology solutions and bring DIA one step further into future diagnostics.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
