Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the most abundant renewable biopolymer in nature, cellulose is a convenient family of materials to design low-cost devices. In addition, cellulose-based materials are flexible, biocompatible, biodegradable, and amenable to straightforward functionalization, as well as mass production. These unrivaled features of cellulosic substrates—including paper, textile/thread and nanocellulose—and their fascinating simplicity of fabrication and coupling with ubiquitous technologies such as smartphones make them tailor-made biosensing platforms. Furthermore, cellulose-based biosensing approaches can meet the World Health Organization’s REASSURED (real-time connectivity, ease of specimen collection, affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free, and deliverable to end-users) criteria for ideal diagnostic assays/devices. Hence, cellulose endows the biosensing community with exquisite materials to envisage innovative analytical devices.
You can find information about Special Issue—Part I at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/biosensors/special_issues/cellulose_bio. Special Issue—Part II will continue to focus on cutting-edge approaches dealing with the design, fabrication, and advantageous analytical performance of cellulose-based biosensing platforms, including but not limited to paper, textile/thread, and nanocellulose-based biosensing technology. The applications portfolio may embrace medical/clinical diagnostics, healthcare, point-of-care testing, environmental monitoring, food analysis, or other biochemical and biological analyses.
We invite you to contribute full papers, reviews, or communications to this Special Issue. In all cases, the papers must demonstrate originality and be relevant to the scope of this issue.

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.
