Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of human aging is complicated, beginning with subclinical and metabolic changes that accrue from midlife onward. Systemic biological changes significantly contribute to many age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and immune system problems, which are leading causes of premature mortality worldwide. To address the healthcare needs of aging populations, there is an urgent need for the development of innovative platforms for the early detection and treatment of age-related diseases. However, contemporary diagnostic devices encounter challenges stemming from the increasing life expectancy of the global population. These challenges relate not only to the demand for improved performance of diagnostic tests but also to the capacity to create point-of-care, wearable, multiplexing, and implantable diagnostic platforms that enable the early detection, continuous monitoring, and treatment of such diseases. These health challenges present technological issues necessitating resolution through diverse skills. In this context, nanoscience and nanotechnology are crucial for the development of cost-effective, accurate, sensitive, and energy-efficient miniaturized biosensors.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
