Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of previous years where we compiled a collection of outstanding papers from our Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and renowned scholars, we invite you to contribute to this year’s Special Issue. This Special Issue focuses on exceptional contributions in biosensing technologies. We invite high-quality papers authored by our EBMs or recommended by our EBMs that explore the latest trends in biosensors research. The aim is to assemble a set of papers that exemplify the most exceptional, insightful, and original research articles or reviews. We encourage our EBMs to share their expertise and perspectives on key topics in the biosensors field.

Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Biosensors;
  • Lab-on-a-chip technology;
  • Optical biosensors;
  • Plasmonic biosensors;
  • Biosensors for cell analysis;
  • Electrochemical biosensors;
  • Enzymatic biosensors;
  • Graphene-based biosensors;
  • Carbon nanotube biosensors;
  • Aptamer biosensors.

All feature papers submitted to this Special Issue will be published free of charge. Following the deadline, the accepted papers will be collated into a printed edition book and will be actively promoted to ensure wide readership and influence within the biosensors field.

Thank you for your valuable contributions to advancing biosensors research.

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.

Purpose: Our aim was to use intracortical recording to enable the tracking of ischemic infarct development over the first few critical hours of ischemia with a high time resolution in pigs. We employed electrophysiological measurements to obtain quick feedback on neural function, which might be useful for screening, e.g., for the optimal dosage and timing of agents prior to further pre-clinical evaluation. Methods: Micro-electrode arrays containing 16 (animal 1) or 32 electrodes (animal 2–7) were implanted in the primary somatosensory cortex of seven female pigs, and continuous electrical stimulation was applied at 0.2 Hz to a cuff electrode implanted on the ulnar nerve. Ischemic stroke was induced after 30 min of baseline recording by injection of endothelin-1 onto the cortex adjacent to the micro-electrode array. Evoked responses were extracted over a moving window of 180 s and averaged across channels as a measure of cortical excitability. Results: Across the animals, the cortical excitability was significantly reduced in all seven 30 min segments following endothelin-1 injection, as compared to the 30 min preceding this intervention. This difference was not explained by changes in the anesthesia, ventilation, end-tidal CO2, mean blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygenation, or core temperature, which all remained stable throughout the experiment. Conclusions: The animal model may assist in maturing neuroprotective approaches by testing them in an accessible model of resemblance to human neural and cardiovascular physiology and body size. This would constitute an intermediate step for translating positive results from rodent studies into human application, by more efficiently enabling effective optimization prior to chronic pre-clinical studies in large animals.
