Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in gene expression profiling have revolutionized our understanding of human diseases by enabling comprehensive analyses of molecular signatures across diverse biological contexts. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in applying gene expression profiling technologies to uncover the mechanisms of disease, identify diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers, and guide personalized therapeutic strategies. By integrating diverse technologies such as bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and multi-omics approaches, this Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative studies that reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, identify novel biomarkers, and support the development of precision medicine strategies.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and methodological studies that explore the use of gene expression profiling in various human diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases, immune disorders, metabolic syndromes, and neurological conditions. Studies that provide translational insights, novel analytical approaches, or cross-disciplinary applications are particularly encouraged.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Lipei Shao
Guest Editor
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. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
