Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of membrane models, cells, and tissues provides critical insights into the structural and functional properties of biological membranes, which are central to numerous physiological and pathological processes. Advances in biophysical methods have significantly enhanced our ability to investigate the dynamic behavior and interactions of membranes at the molecular level. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge biophysical techniques and their applications in studying membrane models, ranging from lipid bilayers and vesicles to complex membrane systems. We invite original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that address innovative approaches, novel findings, or comprehensive overviews in this field.
We hope that this special issue will serve as a platform to share advancements and foster collaboration among researchers working in membrane biophysics and related areas. Contributions from multidisciplinary perspectives, including physics, chemistry, biology, and computational modeling, are particularly encouraged.
Dr. Giuseppe Maulucci
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1200 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.
