Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Framework materials have been the focus of research for the past 30 years. Among them, the representatives are MOFs (metal organic frameworks), COFs (covalent organic frameworks), and HOFs (hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks). These framework materials have common characteristics, such as a large specific surface area, the variety of structures, the adjustable shape and size of the holes, and the controllable skeleton. They have great applications such as catalysis, adsorption, and sensing. If we search for “Frameworks” and “Biosensors/Biosensing” as keywords in the website, we can find thousands of recent publications. The exploration and development of framework materials for biosensing has obviously emerged as a popular topic of study in recent years, and is of great significance in the chemical, biological, and biomedical fields.
Therefore, for this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers as well as reviews concerning current developments on the advances in biosensors based on framework materials. This includes various frameworks, including MOFs, COFs, HOFs, any hybrid frameworks, and other novel frameworks. Besides the related “wet chemistries”, the theoretical research on predicting the frameworks’ biosensing ability is also encouraged. Any design, development, or new findings regarding framework materials in biosensing are of great interest for the Special Issue. Reviews are also welcome, but please pay more attention to recent advances in biosensors based on framework materials.

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.
