Research Topics of this special issue
Submissions are welcomed in a variety of areas including:
- Quantitative imaging
- Superresolution imaging techniques and their applications
- Single-molecule biology
- Biophysical properties of cells and cell structures
- Computational and mathematical modeling
- Systems studies of cell signaling and complex physiological processes
- Innovative physical or computational approaches to cell biological problems
- Big data methods and applications
This issue will build on the great success of previous issues, published in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and will provide an opportunity for researchers whose work crosses disciplines to a wider audience.
