Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magneto-biology is a field of knowledge that considers the phenomena accompanying the influence of permanent and alternating magnetic fields on biological systems at all levels: molecular, cellular, and whole organism. There is no doubt that magnetic fields influence the health and feeling of well-being in humans; the latter is a key factor stimulating both social and scientific interest in magneto-biology [1–3]. Magnetic effects represent a reliable and versatile tool and unambiguous indicator of reaction mechanisms.
The purpose of this issue is to summarize, illustrate, and critically analyze the basic principles of magnetic control of chemical and biological processes at both qualitative and quantitative levels.
The specific areas of focus are:
- Chemical and biochemical reactions that show any significant (and experimentally detectable) magnetic field dependence.
- Presentation of a physically clear and experimentally substantiated concept of magnetic effects in chemical and biochemical reactions.
- Analysis of magnetic control of DNA synthesis.
- Evaluation of the contribution to the magnetic dependence of biosystems of molecular–chemical processes in which spin carriers are born or participate—radicals, radical ions, paramagnetic particles.
- Examples of the use of magnetic catalysis for the treatment and research of cognitive disorders and neurological diseases.

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. Magnetochemistry 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 2200 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.
