Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing demand for rapid, accurate, and decentralized diagnostic technologies has spurred significant advances in microfluidic sensing for biomedical applications. Traditional clinical testing remains heavily reliant on centralized laboratories, a model that often introduces diagnostic delays and restricts accessibility in resource-limited settings. By enabling precise manipulation of microscale fluids, microfluidics effectively addresses these challenges, offering faster turnaround times, reduced sample and reagent consumption, and high analytical sensitivity. This Topical Collection will highlight the transformative potential of microfluidic sensing across diverse biomedical applications, including biological research, disease diagnosis, health monitoring, therapeutic management, and so on. Key focus areas encompass point-of-care diagnostics, wearable and implantable devices for continuous physiological monitoring, organs-on-chips for drug screening and personalized medicine, and high-throughput analysis of cells, proteins, and pathogens. We particularly welcome contributions that address critical challenges such as new principles, device integration, sample handling, sensitivity enhancement, and clinical validation. For this Topical Collection, we invite the contribution of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications covering topics including integrated microfluidic biosensors, paper-based and capillary microfluidic devices, novel sensing strategies, and smart microfluidic platforms incorporating artificial intelligence. Submissions that demonstrate real-world biomedical translation and robust analytical performance are especially encouraged.

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. 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 collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
