Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Biosensors, with the support of electronic devices, are capable of providing accurate measurements, fast assessments, and real-time, accurate, and specific diagnoses of people’s health conditions, mainly thanks to several of their characteristics, such as their sensitivity, selectivity, stability, linearity, detection time, and limit of detection. Such properties enable physicians to accurately diagnose specific diseases or physiological conditions by detecting a specific biomarker, promptly initiating the therapy required to prevent further aggravation.

This need drives broad research efforts into designing, fabricating, calibrating, and reliably detecting biomarkers using biosensors. To address the challenges encountered in the above, this Special Issue invites high-quality submissions with significant scientific and technical contributions on key topics related to biosensors, including the following: 

  • Biosensor design, fabrication, and applications;
  • Biosensor simulation and modeling;
  • Smart materials for energy conversions towards biosensing technologies;
  • Self-assembled nanomaterials with durability, stability, and biocompatibility, focusing on biosensor fabrication;
  • Biodegradable materials for biosensing applications;
  • Biomolecular electronics;
  • Signal processing and data analytics for biosensing;
  • Flexible electronics in biosensing applications;
  • Data analytics and machine or deep learning techniques for biosensing applications;
  • Wearable biosensors and bioelectronics;
  • Lab-on-a-chip biosensing platforms for disease and health monitoring. 

We cordially invite you to contribute research and review articles or communications focusing on the abovementioned aspects. 

Sincerely,
Dr. Ahmed Hasnain Jalal

The rapid evolution of micro- and nano-architectures is revolutionizing biomedical engineering, particularly in the fields of therapeutic and diagnostic micromechanics. This review explores the recent innovations in micro- and nanostructured materials and their transformative impact on healthcare applications, ranging from drug delivery and tissue engineering to biosensing and diagnostics. Key advances in fabrication techniques, such as lithography, 3D printing, and self-assembly, have enabled unprecedented control over material properties and functionalities at microscopic scales. These engineered architectures offer enhanced precision in targeting and controlled release in drug delivery, foster cellular interactions in tissue engineering, and improve sensitivity and specificity in diagnostic devices. We examine critical design parameters, including biocompatibility, mechanical resilience, and scalability, which influence their clinical efficacy and long-term stability. This review also highlights the translational potential and current limitations in bringing these materials from the laboratory research to practical applications. By providing a comprehensive overview of the current trends, challenges, and future perspectives, this article aims to inform and inspire further development in micro- and nano-architectures that hold promise for advancing personalized and precision medicine.
