Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the ‘spying’ of the biology world that operates on such tiny objects as cells and their organelles. Sensors and sensing systems allow one to continuously study the adaptation and evolution of cells through the monitoring of their inner and outer environments. Moreover, most of these systems are non-invasive and enable development in essential branches of medicine such as drug resistance in cancer, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or inter-organelle communication.
Sensor cell analysis systems are continually evolving through increasing accuracy, resolution, range of action, and number of analysed parameters. The development of MEMS and microfluidics has significantly contributed to this field.
Therefore, articles reporting recent advances in analysing cells and their environment with the use of diverse electrical, chemical, physical, biological, and hybrid sensors, as well as closely related topics, are welcome.
Dr. Slawomir Jakiela

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.
