Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Studies on the biological effects of electricity date back centuries, driving some of the technological innovations regarding storage of charge and electricity. Early research into bioelectromagnetic phenomena favored electrophysiology and dielectric properties of molecules. The rising ubiquity of non-ionizing electromagnetic field radiation throughout the world has prioritized work in the context of safety standards to prevent adverse consequences, although beneficial and therapeutic effects have received increasing attention. To more accurately predict the dynamic and potentially broad impact of an absorbed dose of non-ionizing radiation, the complete mechanisms of downstream biological response(s) need to be elucidated and reported.
This Special Issue of Biology focuses on molecular mechanisms of response and cellular-level signal transduction processes resulting from exposure to non-ionizing radiation. The scope includes in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo experimentation across a range of organisms, tissues, and physiological systems, and it spans the electromagnetic frequency spectrum as delivered by a variety of sources of non-ionizing radiation.
In this Special Issue titled “Non-Ionizing Radiation Biology: Cell Signaling Transduction and Response”, contributions of original research and review articles will offer an overview of the current knowledge, update readers with recent research developments, and assemble expert opinions on future directions and translational opportunities.

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.
