Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The biosensors market is expected to reach 31.5 billion USD by 2024. Although point-of-care still represents the main segment in the overall biosensor market (about 57%) there is a remarkable increase in the use of biosensors for nonmedical applications, for example, in the development of smart cell-culture systems and environmental protection. With the recent burst in live cell analysis, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine with organoids that mimic the activity and physiological response of entire organs, there is an increasing need for biosensors that can monitor cell activity and segregate biomarkers related to physical and biochemical stimulus and organ crosstalk. Among different biosensing technologies suitable for bioengineering and theranostics, those based on photonic phenomena at the nanoscale have been the focus of extensive research and development over the last years due to their improved surface sensitivity and multiplexed and real-time detection capabilities. This Special Issue focuses on the advancement and development of nanophotonic technologies contributing to biosensing platforms for biomedical and theranostic approaches, as well as environmental monitoring, including but not limited to live cell analysis, organ-on-chip, and point-of-care devices.

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.
