Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanozymes, defined as nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like activity, have emerged as powerful substitutes for natural enzymes in the design of advanced biosensing platforms. Their remarkable appeal stems from their cost-effectiveness, exceptional stability under diverse conditions, and ability to fine-tune their catalytic performance through straightforward surface modifications. These attributes enable nanozyme engineering with exceptional precision for a wide range of targeted applications, from clinical diagnostics to environmental monitoring. In recent years, nanozyme-based approaches have been successfully implemented for the detection of diverse biomarkers, pathogens, and contaminants, showcasing their versatility, precision, and potential to overcome the limitations of traditional enzymes.
Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled “Cutting-Edge Nanozyme Biosensing Strategies for Biomedical and Environmental Applications”, highlights pioneering research on the detection mechanisms, rational design principles, and practical uses of nanozymes in biomedical and environmental applications. We especially welcome contributions that address the key challenges of nanozyme-based biosensors, such as their sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility, as well as studies exploring innovative methods of integration with digital technologies for point-of-care diagnostics. We invite researchers to submit original research articles and insightful reviews to advance fundamental nanozyme research and broaden their applications across various disciplines.

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.
