Special Issue Information
Medical gas plasma technology is increasingly gaining attention in the field of biology and medicine. This is owing to its therapeutic effects, as ample evidence in the fields of cancer, wound healing, and other dermatological disorders suggests. At the same time, medical gas plasmas are excellent tools to study the redox and biochemistry of reactive oxygen and nitrogen, and their reaction trajectories. With the medical application in mind, and many chemical and biological mechanisms yet unraveled, the plasma medicine field provides an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection between technology, engineering, chemistry, and biomedicine. This Special Issue welcomes submissions dealing with new findings, with gas plasma technology that may contribute to propelling their application in medicine in the future.

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.
