Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Previous effects in advancing the nanoparticles with various properties have greatly pushed forward the development of biosensors and guaranteed their applications for the detection of heavy metal ions, disease biomarkers, and environmental pollutants. Considering that some of them still suffer from low sensitivity, low selectivity, complicated operation, etc., recent research has looked into developing advanced nanoparticles with enhanced properties (e.g., optical, magnetic, electrochemical, etc.) and created simplified sensing approaches, in order to achieve better biosensing performance and satisfy the specific requirements of certain applications. Rational design of nanoparticles as biosensors, in terms of engineering them with controllable size, shape, elemental composition, surface structure, and coupled nanoparticles with enhanced properties, has been considered as an efficient strategy for the development of sensing platforms. Meanwhile, integrating nanoparticles in paper-based biosensors and microfluidic devices has also attracted much attention, which have promising potential as next-generation diagnostic tools.
The aim of this Special Issue is, therefore, to highlight nanoparticle-based biosensors with enhanced properties and application performance. Topics in this Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
1) Design and synthesis of novel nanoparticles with enhanced properties and promising potentials in biosensing;
2) Novel sensing approaches based on nanoparticle-based biosensors;
3) Emerging disease diagnosis by nanoparticle-based biosensors;
4) Paper- and microfluidic-device-based biosensing platforms.
Both reviews and research articles will be considered.

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.
