Special Issue Information
Radiation biology is a multidisciplinary field that examines the biological effects of radiation on cells, tissues, and organisms. By integrating elements of biology, physics, chemistry, and medicine, radiobiology explores how ionizing radiation interacts with living matter at the cellular and molecular levels. Among the fundamental concepts of radiobiology lies the impairment of DNA by ionizing radiation, encompassing mechanisms of DNA repair and dose–response relationships. However, beyond these known aspects, there remain intriguing and unrevealed changes within the microenvironment following ionizing radiation exposure. Understanding the intricate ways in which radiation influences the cellular and tissue surroundings, impacting both healthy and cancerous cells, becomes crucial in the development of effective cancer treatment strategies.
We cordially invite you to contribute to this esteemed Special Issue. This edition aims to explore the diverse scope of research related to the effects of radiation on biological targets. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- The impact of radiation on environmental health.
- Radiobiology in the context of space exploration.
- Radiation safety and protection measures.
- Advancements in medical radiation therapy.
- Radioprotective agents and their potential applications.
- Comprehensive investigation of the biological effects of both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
- In-depth exploration of molecular and cellular responses to radiation exposure.
- Microenvironment changes after radiation

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. Radiation is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
