Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
MPs aim to publish novel approaches to tackle questions in the general fields of life sciences, chemistry, and biomedical sciences. In the past, we have featured Special Issues dealing with ‘’Mass-Spectrometry Imaging’’, ‘’Multi-Omics in Health and Disease’’, ‘’Liquid–Liquid Microextraction’’, ‘’Green Chemistry’’, ‘’Cell-Free Synthetic Biology’’, and ‘’Genome Editing and Single Molecule Techniques’’, among many other cutting-edge topics. We want to stay at the front line of emerging protocols and techniques. Based on the success of our previous Special Issues, we want to both offer authors a chance for a potential update and cover new exciting trends.
In this invitation-only Special Issue, we want to attract and publish high-quality protocols based on established techniques as well as on significant improvements and developments of cutting-edge methods. We especially encourage submissions of short review contributions that summarize recent advancements in a particular field. We are very much looking forward to working together with you and making your expert contributions available to the broader scientific community.
