Biomarker Biosensing: Analysis and Detection

Dear Colleagues,

Early detection of disease remains a cornerstone of effective healthcare, enabling timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. Biomarkers, molecules indicative of specific physiological or pathological processes, offer immense potential for disease diagnosis and monitoring. This special issue of Biosensors, will focus on cutting-edge advancements in biosensing technologies for the detection and quantification of diverse biomarkers relevant to human health. Advances in biomarker sensing hold immense promise for revolutionizing healthcare practice. By enabling early diagnosis, improved disease monitoring, and personalized treatment strategies, these technologies can significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and methods papers encompassing a wide range of biomarker targets, analytical platforms, and clinical applications.

This special issue is planned to address the emerging trends and challenges in biomarker sensing with specific emphasis on:

1. Multiplexed detection of protein,
2. Nucleic acid (DNA, RNA based detection of diseases/infections),
3. Biosensors: bioreceptor and transducer (Live cell imaging probes, detection of biothiols in body fluids, etc).
4. Small molecule biomarkers in blood, saliva, urine, and other biofluids.
5. Development of point-of-care (POC) biosensors for decentralized diagnostics and personalized medicine.
6. Integration of novel sensing technologies, such as nanomaterials, microfluidics, and machine learning, for improving sensitivity, specificity, and clinical performance.
7. Exploring the potential of cell imaging probes and biosensing strategies for early cancer 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 2700 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.
