Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue focusing on the topic of “Cellular Biophysics: Transport and Mechanics”. Here, we would like to document the proceedings of the Cellular Biophysics (Section III) International Workshop of the German Biophysical Society (DGfB). Moreover, the interdisciplinary character of the workshop features results from many distinct branches of research, such as physics, biochemistry, physiology, medicine, molecular biology, pharmacology, and biology. Clustering these branches of research grants a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and scientific progress, as well as state-of-the-art techniques. Substantial insights into the rapidly developing topic of cellular biophysics shall be presented, converging on the topic of membrane transport.
Membrane transport is an essential part of cell function and communication. Therefore, membrane transport impacts almost all pathologies known today, from neuronal, immunological, cardiovascular, metabolic disorders to even cancer. Deciphering the complex and unidentified mechanisms of membrane transport ultimately may lead to comprehension, control, drug development, and finally medical treatment or technological inventions that further improve the quality of life.
We 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. Biomolecules 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.
