Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research and development in relation to biosensors have experienced remarkable growth driven by advancements in micro and nanofabrication techniques. These innovations have led to the creation of miniaturized, portable biosensing technologies with diverse applications. Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of these biosensors has improved access to health care in low-resource settings and underserved populations, access that was previously limited by traditional, centralized healthcare facilities and diagnostic laboratories, as highlighted during the recent pandemic.
This Special Issue, entitled “Biosensors and Their Applications in Disease Characterization and Diagnosis”, aims to showcase recent developments in the applications of biosensors as cost-effective, portable, and user-friendly diagnostic tools. In addition, it investigates employing biosensors in providing new insights into the impact of diseases on human health at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels. We invite authors to submit original research articles, short communications, and review papers that introduce novel biosensing technologies for medical applications, particularly in the diagnosis, disease characterization, and monitoring of treatments.
