Magnetobiology and Magnetomedicine
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The biological and medical effects of magnetic fields have attracted the attention of scientists for more than a hundred years. However, despite the widespread use of magnetic fields in medicine and biotechnology, the mechanisms of the interaction of a magnetic field with living systems are still poorly understood and largely mysterious. One of the reasons for this is the inherent complexity of biological systems, the study of which requires the consolidation and complementarity of the efforts of researchers representing different disciplines: biology, physics, medicine, chemistry, mathematics, biotechnology, nanomaterials, engineering, and programming. Thus, multidisciplinary research will focus both on discovering new biological effects and biomedical applications of magnetic fields, and on revealing the biophysical and biochemical mechanisms of already discovered phenomena. Studies that are related but not limited to the following aspects are welcome, including the effects and mechanisms of magnetic field interaction with biomolecules, cells, and organisms; effects and mechanisms of how organisms perceive, respond, and utilize magnetic fields; magnetic technologies that can be used in biological research or medicine, such as magnetic control of cell functions, magnetofection, new magnetic biomaterials, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulations), magnetic surgery, magnetotherapy, and beyond.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
