Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biologically inspired sensing technologies are defined as detection techniques that draw inspiration from biological mechanisms and principles to provide high sensitivity and the selective detection of target analytes. This detection technology includes biomimetic approaches that imitate biological systems such as enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids, and cells based on novel materials, nanotechnology, and microfabrication techniques. The upcoming Special Issue will present novel detection platforms for diverse applications that leverage natural sensing mechanisms, including specific receptors, enzymes, and signal transduction pathways.
The scope of this Special Issue includes the design, fabrication, and characterization of biosensors for the rapid and accurate detection of disease markers, pathogens, and biomarkers, using biomimetic-inspired biosensing strategies. The covered categories encompass medical diagnostics for various diseases, environmental monitoring for the detection of pollutants, toxins, and contaminants in air, water, and soil, and biosensing technologies for food safety inspections, targeting foodborne pathogens and allergenic substances.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
