Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent integration of biosensing and nanotechnology has led to unprecedented opportunities for healthcare, environmental monitoring, and bioanalytical science, and is expected to provide intelligent and user-friendly diagnostic and analysis tools for point-of-care applications and remote monitoring. Nevertheless, the advancements in this interdisciplinary domain are accompanied by challenges, including the assessment of nanomaterial biocompatibility, the optimization of scalable production techniques, and the establishment of standardized management systems. Addressing these issues necessitates close collaboration among interdisciplinary teams. It is necessary to effectively bridge low-cost, high-performance nanotechnology-assisted biosensors with practical applications through technological innovation and integration. On this basis, combinations of wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and intelligent platforms tailored to rapid detection and personalized medical needs are becoming pivotal in driving precision medicine, pathogenic microorganism monitoring, and environmental pollutant detection. These platforms not only enhance the accuracy and timeliness of diagnosis, but also provide more authoritative and comprehensive data support for clinical decision-making through the application of big data analysis and artificial intelligence algorithms. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to collect studies demonstrating significant advancements and innovation in nanomaterials and biosensor systems, and their diverse applications in diagnosis, treatment, and real-time detection.

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.
