Feature Papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. Feature Papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and undergo peer review prior to publication.
The Feature Paper can be either an original research article, a substantial novel research study that often involves several techniques or approaches, or a comprehensive review paper with concise and precise updates on the latest progress in the field that systematically reviews the most exciting advances in scientific literature. This type of paper provides an outlook on future directions of research or possible applications.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to authors, or important in this field. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of the online journal Diseases, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the 2017 Diseases Travel Award, is Dr. Caroline E. Nunes-Xavier, a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cancer Research at The Norwegian Radium Hospital, who will be supported with 800 Swiss Francs towards travel expenses to attend the 7th Annual International Society for extracellular Vesicles (ISEV2018) which will be helt 2-6 May 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.
Dr. Nunes-Xavier’s current research addresses the role of B7-H3 in multidrug sensitivity of breast cancer and melanoma cells. B7-H3/CD276 is a glycosylated type 1 transmembrane protein that is overexpressed in various types of cancer, facilitating tumor metastasis formation and resistance to therapy. Dr. Nunes-Xavier is interested in the molecular basis of the B7-H3 biological properties and its relation to tumorigenesis.
