Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensing and bioimaging are powerful biomedical investigation methods used to aid the interpretation of biological and pathological processes in living systems at the molecular level. Bioimaging is an optical form of biosensing used to create non-invasive, visual representations of biological processes in cells, tissues and anatomy that can help advance the understanding of biology and improve the diagnosis and treatment of human disease. Regardless of the kind of luminescent molecule, a nanostructure, small organic skeleton or an inorganic complex can be seen as promising material for the development of new imaging probes.
Therefore, this Special Issue is addressed to authors who would like to communicate their work on luminescent dyes and materials as biological tools for the detection, monitoring and tracking of biologically important species, as well as for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cancer diagnosis and treatment, genomics, photo dynamic therapy, etc., promoting interdisciplinary studies at the interface of physics, chemistry, biology, and pharmaceutical and medical sciences.

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.
