Plasma Technology and Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the emerging technology of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has grown rapidly due to its many applications in biomedical fields such as wound healing, disinfection, hemostasis, dermatological treatment, and cancer treatment. Various kinds of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species generated by CAPs are considered important to their interactions with biological tissues. Therefore, it is pivotal to understand the generation and transformation of these reactive species by plasma discharging, as well as the relevant biological effects and clinical applications, particularly the corresponding molecular mechanisms and cell signal pathways involved in these biological processes.

We look forward to collecting research articles and review papers on the abovementioned topics for a Special Issue of Molecules entitled Plasma Technology and Biomedical Applications. We hope the papers in this Special Issue will be of high value to scientists working in the field of plasma medicine. We thank you for your efforts and contributions and look forward to receiving your valuable papers in the upcoming months.

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. Molecules 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 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.
