Cutting-Edge Microtechnology in Medical Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “B：Biology and Biomedicine“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of microtechnology in medical fields enables precise sensing, surgical operation, and drug delivery at the microscale. With the help of MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and microfabrication technology, microtechnology has had a significant impact on current medical applications: implantable microsensors can transfer signals in vivo from targeting tissue or blood vessels, microdevices can perform tissue gripping and cutting at microscale, and microfluidic systems enable wrapping and precision drug delivery. This Special Issue seeks to publish cutting-edge microtechnology in medical applications, including but not limited to MEMS biosensors, the novel design of microdevices for surgical applications, neural probes, and precise drug-delivery approaches with microdevices.

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.
