Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) emerged after the establishment of next-generation sequencing. It offers a powerful and unbiased approach to characterize the transcriptome profiling of individual cells within complex tissues, shedding new insights into genomic heterogeneity and functional diversity at a single-cell level in health and disease.
The focus of this Special Issue of Biomolecules will be on the application of scRNA-seq combined with advanced computational approaches to identify and functionally characterize the distinct cell subsets, new biomolecular markers and regulatory networks and reconstruct developmental trajectories in the immune system and immune-mediated diseases.

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. Biomolecules 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.
