Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as a powerful tool for visualizing the structures of biological macromolecules and complexes with unprecedented detail. This Special Issue aims to present the forefront of cryo-EM research, focusing on advancements that have significantly improved data quality, resolution, and throughput. In particular, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as deep learning algorithms has revolutionized cryo-EM data analysis, enabling more accurate and efficient interpretation of complex structures. Contributions to this Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, sample preparation methodologies, hardware innovations, image processing algorithms, and applications in molecular biology and biomedicine. By highlighting recent breakthroughs and discussing future directions, this Special Issue seeks to inspire further innovation and collaboration in the field of cryo-EM.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
