Advanced MEMS Sensors for Biomedical Measurement and Micromanipulation

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical measurement and micromanipulation impose demanding performance requirements on modern MEMS sensors, including ultra‑high sensitivity, low noise, compact packaging, excellent biocompatibility, and stable operation in complex physiological liquid environments. Traditional sensing technologies frequently encounter critical limitations when tackling multi‑scale biological targets, ranging from single cells and micro‑tissues to human‑related biomedical scenarios. Driven by innovations in micro‑nanofabrication, novel sensor architecture design, high‑precision readout electronics, and calibration strategies, advanced MEMS sensors have emerged as powerful tools for probing cellular biomechanics, single‑cell manipulation, micro‑tissue characterization, and minimally invasive biomedical detection. This Special Issue welcomes original research papers, communications, and review articles focusing on the design, fabrication, circuit integration, performance calibration, and real‑world biological applications of cutting‑edge MEMS sensors and integrated systems. It covers investigations spanning biomechanical measurement and manipulation at cellular and micro‑tissue levels, all the way to wearable and implantable measurements of human physiological indicators. Relevant contributions on sensor interface, liquid‑environment measurement technology, and biosensing instruments are also highly encouraged. 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-anonymized 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.
