Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the use of cryogenic temperatures in medicine, biology and veterinary science largely depend on the extensive practical application of the results of research in the field of cryogenic technology and equipment.
Recently, new, groundbreaking technologies based on the cryogenic processing of biological products have emerged. Cryogenic surgery, cryoconservation and cryotherapy have found new areas of application, contributing to the increase in their social significance and recognition. In-depth research on the biophysical processes that occur when biopharmaceuticals, human organs and tissue come into contact with cryogenic liquids and gases makes it possible to apply cryogenics to solve entirely new tasks. The local application of cryogenic temperatures provides us with the ability to carry out the bloodless removal of malignant tissue. Deep freezing permits the preservation of in-life properties and long-term storage of biological products. Stimulation of skin cover with cryogenic gas contributes to the remedial treatment of many severe diseases. The introduction of cryogenic technologies into the field of life sciences has made it possible to achieve breakthrough results that are improving our quality of life. The exchange of ideas, information and research results dealing with the effects of applying cryogenic temperatures in medicine, biology and veterinary science is of the utmost importance in regard to improving the quality of life of humanity.

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.
