Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue, “Advanced Single-Cell Sequencing in Diseases”, we welcome studies that apply single-cell and spatial transcriptomic analyses to explore the cellular diversity and molecular mechanisms underlying various diseases. We invite submissions that use either newly generated or publicly available single-cell datasets to perform analyses such as clustering, annotation, and visualization with UMAP, DotPlot, FeaturePlot, or comparable approaches. Studies utilizing Seurat, Scanpy, or related bioinformatics frameworks for data processing, integration, and interpretation are highly encouraged. Papers comparing disease and control conditions, identifying cell-type-specific gene expression changes, or characterizing novel cellular subpopulations across tissues and models are particularly welcome. The scope includes all disease areas and experimental systems that employ single-cell data to draw biological conclusions. Our aim is to compile a collection of data-driven analyses demonstrating how single-cell technologies and computational tools can advance our understanding of disease biology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Sedat Kacar

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
