Biophysics in Membrane of Cells

Dear Colleagues,

Studies on the biophysics of the membrane of cells have led to a dramatic change in life science and contributed significantly to clinical applications. To reveal the biophysics in the membrane of cells, studying the structure and function of the membrane, the molecular mechanisms of various activities of the cell, the dynamic understanding of membranes, the role of lipids in membranes, the structure of channels as well as their opening and closing processes, the structure of receptors and their specific interactions with ligands, the information transfer mechanism, the constituent structure of electron transfer chains and their motion, and energy conversion mechanisms is required. The current research on cell biophysics is not deep enough to understand current bioscience. With the progress in molecular and membrane biophysics, the molecular mechanisms of various activities of cells may be gradually clarified. This open access Special Issue will bring together original research and review articles on the biophysics of the membrane of cells. It highlights new discoveries, approaches, and technical developments in cellular biophysics. The main feature of this Special Issue is to provide an open source sharing of significant works in the field of cellular biophysics that can advance our understanding of biological development at the molecular and cellular levels, which may lead to the discovery of novel cellular technologies and targeted therapeutics.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
