Dear Colleagues,

Since the middle of the 20th century, Information Technology (IT) has led to critical changes in every field of everyday life. The same changes have also affected medicine. Over the years, medicine has pervasively adopted IT tools to simplify or enhance the quality of diagnosis and support patients’ recovery. In this Special Issue, we aim to cover the history of IT technologies developed for biomedical applications, along with their actual trends and future challenges they will need to overcome. Reviews, surveys, and novel research papers on specific subjects are welcome, as well as interdisciplinary works.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.

Title: Pulsed electric field interaction with biological cells: modelling tools
Authors: Luciano Mescia
Affiliation: Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, Politecnico di Bari, Bari, Italy
Abstract: During the past decades, the poration of cell membranes induced by pulsed electric field has been widely investigated, and many research activities are focused on the development of theoretical and numerical models. Within this framework, in the proposed paper it will be illustrated in detail the modelling tools for studying the interaction of pulsed electric field with biological cells. In particular, it will be organized to highlight the different aspects regarding the computational difficulties, limitations, approximations, cells geometry and arrangement, parameters of electrical pulse, physical and electrical parameters of the different cell compartments.
