Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of the online journal Diseases, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the 2017 Diseases Travel Award, is Dr. Caroline E. Nunes-Xavier, a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cancer Research at The Norwegian Radium Hospital, who will be supported with 800 Swiss Francs towards travel expenses to attend the 7th Annual International Society for extracellular Vesicles (ISEV2018) which will be helt 2-6 May 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.
Dr. Nunes-Xavier’s current research addresses the role of B7-H3 in multidrug sensitivity of breast cancer and melanoma cells. B7-H3/CD276 is a glycosylated type 1 transmembrane protein that is overexpressed in various types of cancer, facilitating tumor metastasis formation and resistance to therapy. Dr. Nunes-Xavier is interested in the molecular basis of the B7-H3 biological properties and its relation to tumorigenesis.
