Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics is becoming increasingly useful in biological and medical applications, in recent times having allowed for do-it-yourself home assays for the detection of COVID-19. Microfluidics allows one to probe single molecules, single cells, cell motility, complex organisms such as C. elegans, zebrafish, complex systems such as in immunology, or other phenomena such as plant root growth kinetics. Microfluidics research often bridges gaps between physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering, with recent advances in 3D printing with platforms such as Nanoscribe or UpNano systems potentially allowing for even more possibilities in the fabrication of microfluidic devices in applications spanning disciplines.
This Special Issue provides a platform and an advanced academic forum for experts in the area of microfluidics to showcase and share their technical knowledge and interdisciplinary scientific results. We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Jack Merrin
Guest Editor
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.
