Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bio-microfluidic devices have attracted a tremendous amount of interest in the last few decades due to their immense potential in understanding diseases, diagnostics, progression, cures, and health condition monitoring from interdisciplinary researchers. This Special Issue is focused on the latest developments in the design, fabrication, characterization, and demonstration of fluidic devices for various biomedical, biochemical, forensic, and biological applications. Fabrication technologies, characterization methods and tools, optimization of the performance of the devices, uses of machine learning and Internet of things (IoT) in biofluidic devices, and, fundamentals of micro/nano/mini-scale flow phenomena relevant to bio-applications are highly desirable. We are inviting full-length research articles and review papers related to novel fabrications technologies including bioprinting and additive manufacturing technologies targeting micro/nano-fluidic devices, and practical aspects, challenges, and opportunities in IoT-enabled wearable bio-microfluidic devices. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: fundamental research on fluidic transport in biological and molecular systems, bio-inspired fluidic devices, micro-total-analysis systems, lab-on-a-chip, organ-on-a-chip and electrokinetics for bio-applications, biosensors, sensors and transducers in bio-fluidic devices, wearable micro/nanofluidics, micro/nano-scale hemodynamics, and mathematical modeling and simulation of biofluidic devices.
I am looking forward to reporting your exciting research outcomes!
Dr. Mohammad Robiul Hossan

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.
