Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biosensors and chemical sensors have been attracting interest in recent years due to their promising integration in healthcare systems as well as environmental monitoring.

Thanks to advanced functional (bio)materials together with micro- and nanotechnology, state-of-the-art sensing approaches contain adequate hard-wired intelligence and robustness to bring an assembly of data/analysis to the expert. The applicability and user-friendliness are at the core of these sensing technologies.

The health technology market has been affected by the increase in patients’ self-measurements, “point of care” tests, and remote disease monitoring, particularly during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, it is essential to have low-cost, easy-to-use, and effective solutions and to design new healthcare technologies.

In the field of environmental analysis, sensors such as biological or chemical sensors have become more accurate and small, making their usage very practical in distant and inaccessible areas where manual sampling is difficult or unsafe. Such sensors are commonly used for infrastructure and environmental monitoring that require sensors that can measure chemical data in the air or gas phase or dissolved constituents in water. Consequently, the performance of a sensing device depends heavily on the proper sensing characteristics of its integrated sensing parts.

This Special Issue will be dedicated to a didactic examination of the concepts and approaches related to emerging chemistries, sensing materials, and transduction techniques used for biomarker-based sensing, IoT, and solutions for both medical and environmental evaluations.

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. Chemosensors 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.

Plastic particles smaller than 5 mm accumulate in aqueous, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments and their discovery has been a serious concern when it comes to eco-toxicology and human health risk assessment. In the following review, the potential of mass spectrometry (MS) for the detection of microplastic (MP) pollutants has been elaborately reviewed. The use of various mass spectrometric techniques ranging from gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric (LC-MS) to matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), including their variants, have been reviewed. The lapses in the detection system have been addressed and future recommendations proposed. The challenges facing microplastics and their detection have been discussed and future directions, including mitigation methods, have been presented. Full article

Chemokines are a class of cytokine whose special properties, together with their involvement and relevant role in various diseases, make them a restricted group of biomarkers suitable for diagnosis and monitoring. Despite their importance, biodetection techniques dedicated to the selective determination of one or more chemokines are very scarce. For some years now, the critical diagnosis of inflammatory diseases by detecting both cytokine and chemokine biomarkers, has had a strong impact on the development of multiple detection platforms. However, it would be desirable to implement methodologies with a higher degree of selectivity for chemokines, in order to provide more precise information. In addition, better development of biosensor technology applied to this specific field would make it possible to address the main challenges of detection methods for several diseases with a high incidence in the population, avoiding high costs and low sensitivity. Taking this into account, this review aims to present the state of the art of chemokine biodetection techniques and emphasize the role of these systems in the prevention, monitoring and treatment of various diseases associated with chemokines as a starting point for future developments that are also analyzed throughout the article.
