Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent breakthroughs in cell analysis and biosensing technologies have significantly advanced our understanding of cellular behaviors, disease mechanisms, and personalized medicine. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge innovations in cell-based sensing, high-throughput screening, and single-cell analysis, highlighting their transformative potential in biomedical research, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
We invite contributions that focus on advanced cell-analyzing technologies and biosensing applications across multiple scales, from the single cell to cell populations and organoids. These may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip Systems: Miniaturized platforms for the sorting, trapping, and real-time monitoring of cells.
- Biosensor Integration: Optical, electrochemical, and mechanical biosensors for dynamic cell behavior studies.
- Organ/organoids-on-a-Chip and 3D Cell Culture Devices: Biomimetic systems that use biosensing technologies for drug screening, disease modeling, and real-time cellular response monitoring.
- AI and Machine Learning in Cell Analysis and Biosensing: Automated image analysis, biosensors with data interpretation, and predictive modeling for enhanced cell behavior analyses and diagnostics.
- Point-of-Care Diagnostics: Portable and wearable biosensors for rapid cell-based health monitoring.
- Nanotechnology in Cell Sensing: The use of nanomaterials for enhanced sensitivity and multiplexed detection.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives addressing current challenges and technological innovations in cell analysis and biosensing. We especially welcome manuscripts involving cell mechanics analyzing techniques toward the goals of quantifying cellular function, phenotype and behaviors, tracking complex biological processes associated with health and disease of biological systems. We encourage contributions from researchers across engineering, materials science, biophysics, and related disciplines in order to showcase novel methodologies and applications emerging from this rapidly evolving field. This Special Issue aims to highlight emerging technologies that push the boundaries of cellular analysis and biosensor development.
