Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of micro/nanosensor technologies in biomedical applications has rapidly emerged as a transformative research area, driving innovations in early diagnostics, real-time therapeutic monitoring, and personalized medicine. This Special Issue seeks to showcase recent advances and stimulate in-depth discussion on novel sensor designs, materials, and integration strategies to overcome current challenges in healthcare.
We invite submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- Innovative sensor architectures: designs that enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and miniaturization, including flexible and wearable biosensors.
- Integration with microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems: approaches that enable efficient handling of biological samples and real-time analysis.
- Advanced signal transduction and data processing: methods for converting biological signals into reliable, real-time quantifiable data, including integration with artificial intelligence, IoT, or machine learning.
- Material innovations: exploration of novel biomaterials or nanomaterials to improve sensor performance and stability, particularly under clinical conditions.
- Translational research: studies addressing the challenges of moving sensor technologies from proof-of-concept to clinical applications.
- Sensor calibration and reliability: approaches to enhance reproducibility and robustness in clinical settings, including standardized testing protocols and long-term stability.
- Integration with digital health platforms: combining micro/nanosensors with telemedicine, data analytics, and wireless communication to enable remote diagnostics and improved patient monitoring.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and communications that contribute to the development of robust biomedical sensing platforms that can be readily translated into clinical 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 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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
