Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging micromachine technology is paving the way for advancements in tissue characterization and physiological monitoring. However, transitioning these advances to solve clinical challenges remains unresolved—where reducing motion artifacts, improved sensitivity, and multiplexed sensing are paramount. Thus, there is an urgent need for advanced micromachine systems and sensor designs for healthcare applications.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and innovations in micromachine systems designed for tissue characterization and physiological monitoring. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that cover a broad range of topics, including but not limited to, the following:
- Development of micromachine systems for non-invasive tissue characterization;
- Innovative sensors and actuators for tissue characterization;
- Integration of micromachines with biomedical devices;
- Miniaturization and fabrication technologies for micromachines;
- Novel materials and their applications in micromachine systems;
- Wireless and implantable micromachine systems for physiological monitoring;
- Challenges and future directions in micromachine-enabled medical technologies.

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. 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.
