Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "DNA-Based Electrochemical Biosensors and Aptasensors: Advances in Medical Diagnostics and Detection", aims to explore the latest advancements in biosensor technologies tailored for medical diagnostics. Electrochemical DNA biosensors and aptasensors represent a rapidly growing field, offering unique advantages such as high sensitivity, specificity, rapid response, and potential for miniaturization. These sensors are pivotal in addressing the increasing demand for accurate and reliable diagnostic tools in healthcare.
This Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers to showcase novel approaches and breakthroughs in sensor development and their applications in detecting biomarkers, pathogens, and disease-related molecules. We encourage submissions that focus on innovations in design, material integration, and analytical performance, as well as clinical and real-world applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The development of new electrochemical biosensor and aptasensor platforms.
- Advanced materials and nanotechnologies for enhanced aptasensor performance.
- Applications in point-of-care diagnostics, personalized medicine, and the rapid detection of diseases.
- Integration of biosensors with microfluidic systems and wearable devices.
- Multiplexed detection and its implications for simultaneous analysis.
- Case studies demonstrating the clinical validation of biosensors and aptasensors for medical applications.
By bringing together experts from diverse fields such as biosensing, nanotechnology, biochemistry, and clinical diagnostics, this Special Issue aims to advance the understanding and development of biosensor technologies that can revolutionize medical diagnostics and improve healthcare outcomes globally.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
