Electrochemical (Bio-)Sensors in Biological Applications—3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

After the success of the second volume of this Special Issue, ‘Electrochemical (Bio-)Sensors in Biological Applications’, the Journal’s Editorial Board, in collaboration with the Guest Editors Dr. Nina Dimcheva (assoc. prof.) and Prof. Dr. Sergey Shleev, is launching a third edition under the same title. This Special Issue is dedicated to electrochemical sensors and biosensors that are applicable in diseases diagnosis; clinical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and forensic analyses; and any other area of biological interest.

In addition to those already announced in the second edition, the following topics may be addressed:

• Sensor design: The application of nanomaterials and bio-nanomaterials, hybrid materials, composites and bio-composites, biomimics or bio-inspired materials in sensor architecture, and the immobilization of bio-receptors (proteins, nucleic acids, tissues, microorganisms, etc.) as a tool for their stabilization.
• Areas of application: Sensors/biosensors for disease diagnosis; clinical analysis, drug discovery, and pharmacy; forensic science and food analyses; and any of other field of biological analyses.
• Sensor’s analytical performance: The selectivity of analysis in complex matrices, low detection limits, etc.

This third edition will focus also on cutting-edge sensing technologies, including the following:

- Wearables, electronic textiles, and point-of-care (POC) devices;

- Implantable biodegradable sensors and biosensors for disease monitoring and treatment;

- (Bio-)sensors equipped with advanced signal processing techniques, incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence for data analysis.

Both critical reviews and original research articles that address analytical aspects (selectivity, validation, etc.), the design of sensing devices and/or platforms (bioreceptor immobilization, use of bio-mimics, bio-inspired catalysts), or sensing principles will be considered for publication.

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.
