Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioimaging relates to methods that non-invasively visualize biological processes in real time. It is often used to gain information on the 3D structure of the observed specimen without too much physical interference. Recent developments using imaging by light and electromagnetics in medicine and biology have explored new horizons in biomedical research. For example, bioimaging has led to the design of an increasing number of nanosensors for monitoring intracellular ion and metabolite transportation. Resolutions ranging from nanometer to millimeter provide multiscale spatial information for accurately and precisely depicting the architecture of living organisms. Single-molecule/particle tracking techniques can even reveal the dynamics and kinetics of biomolecules in living cells, tissues, and organs.
The present Special Issue will focus on the innovative applications of biomaterials and the characterizations of their corresponding functions using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The marriage of biomaterials and imaging techniques will also intrigue our investigation into the interplays of biology and materials science and may ignite the invention of advanced functional biomaterials. In this Special Issue, methods and materials for imaging-based characterization of molecular signatures that occur during cellular proliferation, differentiation, and internalization are very welcome (including but not limited to this application). Broad applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and nanomedicine are also invited in this Special Issue.

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.
