Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their specific properties, including focusing, spectral bandwidth, or coherence, lasers have become indispensable diagnostic and therapeutic tools in Biomedical Optics. Light absorption, elastic or inelastic (Raman) scattering, autofluorescence or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) are used increasingly for label-free diagnostics of cells or tissues. In addition, numerous fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteins are available for detection of diseases or for measuring interactions of pharmaceutical agents. Depending on their power, wavelength and pulse duration lasers are also used for coagulation, tissue cutting or even lithotripsy of bile or kindney stones. This specific volume is dedicated to the large field of biological and medical applications of lasers including spectroscopy and microscopy, light propagation, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
