Biosensors Based on Electrical Resistance Measurements

Dear Colleagues,

Of late, there has been an increasing demand for microphysiological systems (MPS), as they aim to reduce animal testing and provide a shortcut to clinical trials. In order to screen proper function of these in vitro tools, it essential to miniaturize and integrate biosensors with them in a non-invasive fashion.

Online and on-chip monitoring of transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) can provide an insight into the state of epithelial cells, their imperviousness, and the barrier function. It can also be a measure of drug-induced toxicity.

This Special Issue solicits both review and original research articles related to employing electrical resistance measurement techniques and concepts that realize a wide range of sensing applications. Original papers that put forward novel fabrication technologies, sensing platforms, biological interfacing strategies, microfluidic approaches, cell-based sensing, detection, and quantification of chemicals that pose both physiological and pathological effects, etc., are especially welcome.

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.
