Microsystems for Bio Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Microsystems have extensive applications in biological sciences, from diagnosis to prognosis to characterization. Microsystems, whether lab-on-a-chip or micro total analysis systems or chips with moving structures, have been contributing to the field of bio application, from the protein level to the tissue level to the organism level, in, not only understanding the fundamentals of the interdisciplinarity between engineering and bio science, but also in applying the basic principles for realizing useful devices for various bio applications, such as assays, cellular manipulations and characterization, organs-on-a-chip, bio diagnosis and prognosis, and sensing. Microsystems for bio applications also involves integration of many elements, such as microfluidics, microphotonics, nano materials and structures, and various actuation and sensing mechanisms. This Special Issue will address challenges involved with modeling, fabrication, integration and application of specific issues when microsystems are designed for bio applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
