Biosensors Based on Nanostructure Materials
This special issue belongs to the section "Biology and Medicines".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the biosensors technology is a particular interest because of the multiple applications from monitoring glucose level in diabetes patients, food analysis, environmental applications, protein engineering, drug discovery, and security applications. The trends in biosensor technology over the past few years have been to use nanomaterials in order to enhance sensing capabilities. This Special Issue aims at collecting reviews and recent papers on the recent advancements on nanomaterials for the fabrication of biosensors devices for healthcare diagnostics, food quality control, environmental monitoring, security, and bioprocessing. Furthermore, the combination of different nanomaterials in the same sensing interface, each with its characteristics, to further enhance the performances of biosensors, is accepted.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
