Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The landscape of biomedical and biological sensors is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for more precise clinical diagnostics and continuous monitoring systems. Recent advancements in sensor technology have been particularly transformative in the field of personalized diagnostics. Wearable patches, implants, and other portable analytical devices are now capable of measuring a wide array of analytes, including glucose, electrolytes, and hormones, in various biomatrices such as blood, sweat, and saliva. These innovations have spurred a vigorous search for new materials, including novel molecules, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and nanohybrid materials, which are essential for the development of the next generation of electrochemical and luminescent sensors. These platforms are crucial for the expansion of biomedical applications, including real-time monitoring and early disease detection. This Special Issue focusing on the latest advancements in electrochemical and luminescent sensor materials will feature a curated selection of communications, full papers, and mini reviews, providing a comprehensive overview of current research and development efforts in this field.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
