Special Issue “Microbeam Radiation Biology and Its State-of-the-Art Technology”
Dear Colleagues,
Microbeam irradiation technology has great potential as a powerful tool for the analysis of cell- or tissue-specific radiation effects, as well as for radiotherapy. This Special Issue focuses mainly on microbeam irradiation studies using cultured cells and model animals to clarify the effects of radiation at the molecular (DNA), cell, tissue, or individual level. Specifically, we aim to compare and systematically discuss various radiation effects such as the bystander effect, abscopal effect, and individual-level effects of microbeam irradiation. We also welcome reports regarding the latest progress in the development of microbeam irradiation technology for various radiations, such as heavy ions, protons, and X-ray photons. It evaluates the potential value of microbeams for both biological research and radiation therapy, and contributes to facilitating discussions on radiobiology with microbeam state-of-the-art technology.

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 papers will be 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. Biology 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 2000 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.
