Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development and advances in biophotonic-based technologies have led to a new era of our understanding of the unique “optical aspect” of biological molecules, cells, and tissues during their photonic interactions.
The focus of this Special Issue of Biomolecules will be the most recent advances and applications of light-based technologies, involving basic, translational, and clinical studies. Research and review articles that present novelties or overviews related to biophotonics are welcome. Particularly, studies from researchers and physicians on the following topics would be highly appreciated: (1) development and characterization of new photonic materials, such as photosensitizers or fluorophores, or repurposing of existing photosensitizers or fluorophores; (2) biophotonic-based technologies for imaging and diagnosis, involving biofluorescence, OCT, bioluminescence, biophosphorescence, and photoacoustic imaging, etc.; (3) translational and clinical studies that involve photothermal, photodynamic, and laser therapies; (4) optogenetics for functional modulations on cells and tissues; (5) other biophotonic-related biomaterials or techniques.

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.
