Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful publication of the first and second editions of the Special Issue entitled “Nano-Biosensors and Their Applications for In Vivo/Vitro Diagnosis”, we are pleased to launch the third volume of this ongoing series. The previous editions have received broad attention and have significantly advanced the field of nano-biosensing. Building on this foundation, the third edition aims to further explore nanotechnology-enabled diagnostics, with renewed focus on innovation, translational potential, and interdisciplinary integration.
Nano-biosensors represent a distinctive class of analytical tools that integrate the molecular recognition capabilities of biomolecules (such as antibodies, aptamers, nucleic acids, and enzymes) with the unique properties of nanostructures (such as optical, catalytic, magnetic, and plasmonic features). This powerful synergy offers superior sensitivity, specificity, and versatility for the detection of biological targets in both in vitro and in vivo settings.
In recent years, we have witnessed exciting developments in the field, including the emergence of digital and wearable biosensors, artificial intelligence-assisted signal processing, and multiplexed detection platforms tailored for clinical applications. These advances have expanded the scope of nano-biosensing beyond fundamental research toward practical implementation in disease diagnosis, health monitoring, and personalized medicine.
This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles focused on the design of novel nanostructures, the development of high-performance biosensors, innovative signal amplification mechanisms, and the detection of emerging biomarkers. Of particular interest are studies involving point-of-care diagnostics, implantable and wearable devices, and intelligent biosensing systems powered by artificial intelligence.
We look forward to your contributions that will further shape this rapidly evolving and multidisciplinary research area.
Dr. Zhuangqiang Gao
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. 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.
