Advances in Biosensors for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Biosensors are devices that use biological components to detect and measure specific molecules or compounds in a sample. They have become increasingly important in biomedical applications because of their ability to provide rapid, sensitive, and specific measurements of molecules or biomarkers. The key advances in biosensors for biomedical applications include: 1) Ease of miniaturization, which has enabled the development of portable and wearable devices, allowing for point-of-care testing, continuous monitoring, and personalized healthcare. 2) Multiplex detection, providing the capability of simultaneous detection of multiple biomolecules or analytes in a single sample, increasing the efficiency of diagnostic tests and reducing the time required for diagnosis. 3) Integration with other technologies such as microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems, to create more powerful and efficient diagnostic devices; 4) Real-time monitoring, allowing for continuous monitoring of biomarkers or analytes in a patient's body. This is particularly useful for monitoring chronic diseases or conditions; 5) Machine learning and artificial intelligence enhanced detection, which can be used to analyze biosensor data and provide insights into disease diagnosis and treatment.

Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on but not limited to biosensor for biomedical applications, including (1) new materials that can be used to develop new biosensor such as nanomaterials, polymers, functional materials; (2) new sensing principles, such as host-guest interaction, reduction, oxidation, supermolecular interaction, etc; (3) development of new sensing components such as aptamers, nanobodies, PNA, enzymes, MIPs, etc; (4) new data acquisition and analysis strategies such as wireless data transmission and machine learning analysis.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
