Microorganisms are an essential part of life on Earth, playing an important role in almost every natural cycle. The “Microbiology in Human Health and Disease” Section focuses on microbiology in human health and diseases, including infectious diseases, the interaction between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology. The point of view of the Section is that microorganisms and public health are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.

This Section of Biomedicines (ISSN 2227-9059) aims to cover studies concerning disease pathogenesis at the molecular or physiological level, as well as the basic preclinical, clinical, and translational aspects. We encourage scientists to submit results that have potential for application in human disease, and research obtained from human experimentation or animal models of human disease with the potential to shed light on the underlying causes of human diseases and cancer, to develop future human medicines, medical devices, and diagnostics.

Biomedicines Editorial Office

Our portfolio of journals available for publishing up-to-date research in immediate open access format has been further expanded. In June 2026, eleven new journals released their inaugural issues and two transferred journals released their first issue as part of MDPI, covering the subjects of environmental & earth sciences, chemistry & materials science, public health & healthcare, engineering, medicine & pharmacology, and biology & life sciences. 

We extend our gratitude to the Editors-in-Chief, Associate Editors, and Editorial Board Members who will shape the future course of these new journals. Each journal is dedicated to upholding strong editorial standards through a thorough peer review process, enabling impactful open access scholarship. 

Please feel free to browse and discover more about the new journals below. 

We would like to thank everyone who has supported the development of open access publishing. If you would like to create a new journal, you are welcome to send an application here or contact the New Journal Committee (newjournal-committee@mdpi.com).

The “Biomedical Engineering and Materials” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers which aim to cover studies of the preparation, performance, and evaluation of biomaterials; the chemical, physical, toxicological, and mechanical behavior of materials in physiological environments; and the response of blood and tissues to biomaterials. It also covers biomedical engineering approaches as solutions to clinical practice. In this context, we are pleased to feature some recently published papers on biomedical engineering and materials in Biomedicines (ISSN 2227-9059), which will provide valuable insights into this exciting field.
