Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue invites research on the applications in biomedicine with symmetric and asymmetric studies, aiming to bring together diverse perspectives from fields such as medical imaging, modeling, diagnostics, and device design. Symmetry is utilized in microfluidic device design to create controlled fluid environments. In medical imaging, clinicians analyze symmetry and asymmetry to detect abnormalities. Symmetry in biological structures also informs computational models that simulate physiological processes. We welcome contributions that explore these and other ways that symmetry and asymmetry can be harnessed to advance biomedical research, develop diagnostic techniques, and improve patient care. We also encourage discussions on the challenges and reliability of using symmetry in practical design, modeling, and diagnosis. By uniting these interdisciplinary efforts, we aim to deepen our understanding of how symmetry impacts biomedical challenges and solutions.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
