Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flow Cytometry is a methodology we consider mature but paradoxically keeps evolving rapidly, continuously offering new challenges even to those who think they know it deeply.
As proof of what has just been said, we could recall the new experimental fields for its application that have emerged in the last period.
Born as a technique for automatically evaluating cell features, such as physical parameters and the content of nucleic acids, it has become a multifaceted tool in a series of different sectors and an invaluable instrument in studying the biochemistry and molecular features of the cells.
On the one hand, the continuously growing availability of a panoply of fluorescent probes allows us to investigate a series of cellular activities in a new way; on the other hand, the appearance of new technologies, such as Raman cytometry and others, promises the arrival of an era in which it will be possible to acquire information on metabolism and cell functions through a label-free approach.
The ambition of this issue of the Journal is to take stock of what is happening in this field and help us understand the new directions toward which Flow Cytometry is moving.
I'm confident that, with the help of all of you, this special number of IJMS will be a success.

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.
