Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In healthcare, magnetic biosensors are used to detect specific biomarkers for diseases including cancer and diabetes, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnoses. They also contribute to food and water safety by detecting harmful pathogens. In biotechnology, these sensors provide powerful tools for the detection of proteins, enzymes, and DNA sequences, offering precise molecular-level insights critical for both research and industrial applications.
Interestingly, the human body itself generates faint magnetic signals, such as those produced by neural activity and muscle contractions. These biomagnetic signals can be captured and analyzed using advanced magnetic sensing technologies, paving the way for non-invasive and real-time health monitoring solutions.
As research continues to advance, the development of wireless and miniaturized magnetic devices is gaining momentum, driven by the unique advantages that magnetic phenomena offer at micro and nanoscale levels.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs in the field of magnetic biosensors. We warmly invite researchers to contribute original studies and comprehensive reviews covering all aspects of this dynamic area, from theoretical modeling and device fabrication to functionalization strategies, sensing mechanisms, and real-world applications.

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.
