Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pursuit of rapid, highly sensitive and specific detection platforms is a central focus in modern bioanalytical science. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and review articles on the development and application of advanced electrochemical biosensors. We welcome contributions that explore innovative strategies, particularly those integrating novel signal transduction mechanisms such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and materials with unique photophysical properties like those exhibiting aggregation-induced emissions (AIEs). The synergistic use of functional nanomaterials to enhance sensor performance—by improving electrical conductivity, increasing surface area and facilitating biomolecule immobilization—is of significant interest.
A key application area for these biosensors is the precise and early detection of critical disease biomarkers in clinical diagnostics, point-of-care testing and environmental monitoring. We invite original research and comprehensive reviews that address the design, fabrication, mechanistic studies and practical analytical applications of these next-generation biosensors. By bringing together diverse expertise, this Special Issue seeks to foster discussion and advance the frontiers of electrochemical sensing technology for improved healthcare and bioanalysis.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
