Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in materials science have opened up new frontiers for biosensing and biomedical applications, enabling the development of highly sensitive, selective, and multifunctional platforms. Novel materials such as nanostructured metals, conductive polymers, graphene derivatives, and bio-inspired composites are increasingly integrated into sensors and devices to achieve enhanced detection performance, real-time monitoring, and improved biocompatibility. At the same time, smart and stimuli-responsive materials are finding applications in personalized medicine, regenerative therapies, and implantable systems, bridging the gap between engineering innovations and clinical needs.
This Special Issue, titled ‘Advances in Materials for Biosensing and Biomedical Applications’, aims to highlight recent progress in the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of advanced materials that contribute to healthcare and biomedical diagnostics. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives covering a broad spectrum of topics, including nanomaterials for biosensors, functional coatings for medical devices, bioelectronics, lab-on-a-chip platforms, and novel materials for therapeutic delivery. Contributions that demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches combining material science, biology, engineering, and medicine are particularly encouraged.
By bringing together experts from multiple fields, this Special Issue seeks to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art developments and to inspire new strategies for translating material innovations into impactful biomedical solutions.

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.
