Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Many advances in technologies underpinning biosciences have accelerated the potential for the application of novel approaches to the major challenges of human health and well-being. It is important that those developing these technologies connect with those looking to apply them to deliver new solutions. Applied Biosciences (ISSN 2813-0464) has the opportunity to contribute to this knowledge exchange.

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue focusing on new advances in the biotechnology, biosciences and bioengineering of plants, animals and humans.

We welcome the submission of manuscripts from Editorial Board Members and from outstanding scholars invited by the Editorial Board Members and the Editorial Office. The following are suggested (as examples of options) as submission topics:

  • Advances in drug discovery;
  • Microscopy and molecular imaging technology developments;
  • Advances in antibody engineering;
  • Novel bioassay technologies;
  • New bioinformatics tools;
  • Recent applications of genome engineering in plants or animals;
  • Cell engineering;
  • Enzyme engineering;
  • Applications of nanobiotechnology;
  • Advances in the production and use of biopolymers;
  • Novel vaccine technologies/mRNA vaccines;
  • Algal products and production systems;
  • Advances in long-read DNA sequencing;
  • Biomass processing technologies;
  • Production of biomaterials and biofuels;
  • Advanced biomanufacturing;
  • Microbial biotechnology.

We hope you can participate in this Special Issue and look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 Biosciences 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.

Growing demands for sustainable and ecological nanoparticle synthesis methods have incentivized the scientific community to develop new approaches to counteract these challenges. Green synthesis resorts to biocomponents obtained from plants, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms to synthesize nanostructures, with beneficial gains in the economic and ecological cost associated with the process, simplicity of the process, and resource efficiency. Moringa oleifera, a native plant originally from India with immense nutritive value, has long been used by researchers in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Leaves, flowers, bark, and seeds are among the “miracle tree” parts that can be used in nanoparticle green synthesis. Moringa oleifera seed cake, a by-product obtained from defatted seeds, is often overlooked due to its apparent low commercial value. The main objective of this review is to highlight the recent findings reported in the literature on nanoparticles/nanocomposites synthesized with seed cake biocompounds acting as reducing/capping agents. Furthermore, we analyzed the methods currently employed for the extraction of bioactive compounds. Moringa oleifera seed for industrial applications was also addressed. Full article
