Advances in Micro/Nanofabrication and Smart Biomaterials for HealthCare Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advancements in the fields of micro/nanotechnology with the evolution of smart biomaterials have revolutionized healthcare systems. Because most biological events originate at molecular or cellular levels, micro/nanofabrication can provide tools to investigate the presence of pathogens, enhance cell–surface interactions, stimulate gene expressions, and sense therapeutic measures on a very small scale. The integration of microfabrication and smart biomaterials can offer marvelous opportunities in order to solve significant problems in health sciences. Advances in technology and biomaterials at the micro and nano scale can have immediate and far-reaching impacts on healthcare systems and medicine, and can assist a wide spectrum of applications in sensing, diagnostics, therapeutics, and tissue engineering. 

This Special Issue aims to showcase advancements in nanoscience and biomaterials, drawing up contributions by researchers from medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and materials science. We wish to cover research work that focuses on the development of novel biomaterials, nano-biosensors, wearable devices, micro-electronics, tissue engineering, therapeutics, drug delivery, and other technology modernizations in medicine and healthcare systems.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
