Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, significant progress is being made in the creation of sensory systems that allow studying the processes occurring in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Genetically encoded biosensors are used to study normal and pathological processes. Their use allows us to visualize and quantify processes that were previously hidden and poorly studied. The most important advantage of genetically encoded biosensors is the ability to study processes and measure the concentrations of various substances on living cells and organisms in real time. This allows us to conduct experiments in physiological conditions and test various effects on the studied biological systems. This Special issue of Sensors is devoted to progress in the development of new genetically encoded biosensors, as well as their application for the study of normal and pathological processes in vitro and in vivo.

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. 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.
