Dear Colleagues,

Mathematical biology has had many decades of success, but many fundamental and important challenges remain.  In particular, phenomena which bridge different scales in time and space and which intertwine a variety of types of processes are difficult to model and require collaborative efforts from mathematicians, statisticians, biologists, computer scientists, and other domain experts. 

In this special issue we seek contributions which use a mathematical modeling framework (broadly construed) to elucidate dynamic process in biology.  Submissions which involve interdisciplinary collaborations, or which span heirarchical levels (for example, from molecular and genetic processes to cellular/tissue/physiological effects and behaviors) are especially welcome.  Examples of these include cell motility modeling, interactions between the immune system and parasites, social motility, observable effects of gene regulatory networks, and epidemiological models which combine micro- and macro-level dynamics.

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. Mathematics 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 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.
