Biosensors for Neurodegenerative Diseases and Related Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

The last few years have seen a proliferation of reports and calls for action for the management and early diagnosis of dementia, worldwide. Advances in understanding neurodegenerative disorders are proceeding parallel to the development of novel and innovative technology for disease monitoring and biomarker detection. A wide range of sensors can represent upcoming and promising tools for people affected by neurodegenerative disorders. Sensors and software can measure digital biomarkers and behaviors (e.g., in sleep, mood, physical activity, memory, frailty status, and social activity) from which we can effectively measure and identify changes in outcomes that are clinically meaningful. Biosensors for biomarker detection and therapy monitoring can aid in the management of the disease.In recent years, thanks to advances in material science, numerous optical and electrochemical biosensors have been developed for specific biomarkers detection taking advantage of increasing sensitivity, low cost, and rapid response.This Special Issue will provide the state-of-the-art of novel biosensors in the field of neurodegenerative disease, focusing not only on disease monitoring and early disease detection but also addressing the daily lives of patients.

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 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.
