Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of nanotechnology observed in recent years has led to intense developments in nanosensors and microsensors, revolutionizing their design and fabrication and significantly expanding their areas of application. Such sensors provide important support for solving complex problems in biological and materials science. For example, the real-time monitoring of changes in intracellular and extracellular environments, tracking protein variations, and identifying biomarkers provide critical information for studying cellular signal transduction, proliferation, and apoptosis; researching molecular interactions on surfaces offers important guidance for optimizing material designs and developing coatings.
Innovative nanomaterials, composites, and hybrid materials with unique size-dependent properties, large surface-to-volume ratios, surface chemistry, and possibilities of matching material physical properties to industry needs are key to such types of sensor development. However, the production of low-cost nanomaterials with repeatable properties, that are nontoxic, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly, is one of the most difficult challenges to solve. Developing such materials is also a challenge for specialists from various fields, including material science and engineering, chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of molecular research related to the application of sensors in biology and materials science, as well as the design and development of sensors.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
