Novel Biosensors for Cell Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Cellular events such as changes in chromatin during cell replication, neurotransmitter uptakes, and the formation of signaling complexes occur at vastly different time and length scales inside a cell. Tracking these dynamic events is crucial for understanding fundamental biological mechanisms and providing useful insights for engineering novel cell types and/or devising cellular therapy. Recent advances in synthetic biology have enabled the development of an array of biosensors to track cellular events. This Issue will focus on the latest developments in biosensors to track in situ cellular behavior enabling single-cell-based analysis to reveal cellular heterogeneity and dynamics.

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.
