Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Applications of Biophotonics in Biology and Medicine” contains papers that represent the latest developments in biophotonics technology and sciences for applications in a wide range of biology, life sciences, therapeutics, and diagnostics.

The Special Issue will highlight new research in laser–tissue interaction, imaging and analysis of biomolecules, cells and tissues, 3D and multidimensional microscopy, single molecule spectroscopy, nano/biophotonics such as nanoscale imaging and sensing, markers, nanoparticles microscopy, atomic force microscopy of biomolecules and molecular probes.

In medicine, new trends of Biophotonics to develop innovative systems in neuropathologies, endoscopic microscopy, oncology, photomodulation therapy, dermatology, cardiovascular, optical biopsy, and optical coherence tomography will be presented.

You are invited to contribute to this Special Issue by sending your articles to be considered for publication.

Prof. Dr. DIDO YOVA
Guest Editor

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.

Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is an important procedure used for the treatment of morbid obesity and has been proven to improve, or even cure, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, of the patients with T2DM who initially go into remission, a proportion experience a relapse during the follow-up. In this context, Raman spectroscopy (RS) could be a promising technique for monitoring the metabolic profile of patients after surgical treatment with the aim of improving their postsurgical management. Methods: Fourteen obese patients with T2DM were recruited. Clinical parameters, adipokines, ghrelin, Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) values, and Raman spectra were collected and analyzed before and after surgery. RS results were compared with profiles obtained from 23 healthy subjects (HC), to observe whether the metabolic fingerprint of bariatric patients normalized during the surgical follow-up. Results: The reduction in anthropometric measures and improved glycemic control and lipid profile after surgical treatment highlighted the benefits of BS. Consequently, adipokines, ghrelin and FGF-19 concentration returned to normal values after surgery. However, RS data highlighted an altered metabolic profile even after BS. Conclusion: RS suggests that BS does not fully restore the metabolic profile of patients in the immediate follow-up after the surgery. Full article
