Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proteomic analyses have provided new information on and a new impetus for the study of the structure/function relationship of red blood cells, and concomitantly of the role of red blood cells in the maintenance of organismal homeostasis. Recent years have seen the supplementation of information from proteomic inventories with detailed metabolomic and, recently, lipidomic data. These developments have emphasized the need for a multi-omics, integrative approach in order to understand the physiological as well as pathological implications of emerging pathways, especially those that are not in the red blood cell physiology textbooks. Algorithms for multi-omics and phenotypical metadata are being established, together with biomathematical models of biochemical regulation. Once again, the red blood cell may serve as a model, in this case to evaluate the integrative power of such algorithms in the interpretation of physiological phenomena. In addition, recent developments on erythropoiesis in vitro provide genomic and transcriptomic possibilities to interpret the effects of (manipulation of) processes in the bone marrow on long term function and survival of mature red blood cells in the circulation.
We invite you to contribute original research, technical notes, method papers, and reviews on ‘Red Blood Cell Multi-omics’ that are centered around multiple -omics analyses of red blood cells and may include the study and manipulation of erythropoiesis in vitro, as well as physiological and pathological studies on mature red blood cells in vitro and in vivo.

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. Proteomes is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
