B：Biology and Biomedicine

This section focuses on publishing cutting-edge research at the intersection of micro-/nanoscale engineering, biomedical science, and advanced analytical technologies, serving as a multidisciplinary platform for innovations in microfluidics, nanofluidics, microneedles, bioelectronics, optical and electrochemical biosensors, and next-generation biomedical devices. Central themes include the design, fabrication, modeling, and integration of micro- and nano-systems for applications in diagnostics, therapeutics, drug delivery, physiological monitoring, and fundamental biomedical research.

This section highlights both enabling technologies—such as microfabrication, 3D bioprinting, electronic design automation for biochips, flexible and wearable electronics, and machine learning-assisted microfluidic design—and application-driven studies in areas including cancer research, microbiology, immunoassays, neural interfaces, organ-on-chip systems, and microphysiological models. Particular emphasis is placed on lab-on-a-chip platforms; droplet and surface microfluidics; micro-/nanodroplet manipulation; and integrated optical, electrical, and electrochemical sensing systems. Emerging fields such as neuroelectronics, bioelectronic interfaces, magnetic nanoplatforms, micromachines, and MEMS-based sensors are also core components of the section’s scope.

In this section, we welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, perspectives, and methodological papers that offer fundamental insights, technological advances, or translational potential. Contributions that bridge engineering innovation with biological or clinical relevance, demonstrate system-level integration, or address real-world challenges in healthcare and health monitoring are particularly encouraged.
