Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a biosensing technology based on the fusion of micro/nanodevices, including micro/nanofluidic chips, and biology has provided remarkable success, providing the development of novel concepts, tools and methods. In addition, the micro/nanostructure of these devices can provide about the same size and space as a single molecule or single cell, so they can be measured directly or from the surface of an organism or living body to them. These potentials hold considerable promise for applications in various fields such as basic biology, agriculture, environment, healthcare and medical science. This suggests that biosensing technology with micro/nanodevices has great potential to contribute more in those fields and to lead those biological fields to a new era.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Micro/Nano-Devices for Biosensing: From Single Molecule Sensing to Device Applications—2nd Edition”. This Special Issue covers a variety of biosensing devices from single molecules, extracellular vesicles (EVs)/liposomes, viruses, bacteria and cells, with applications in basic biology, agriculture, environment, healthcare and medical science, based on micro/nanodevices including micro/nanofluidic chips.
This issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review papers, including the most up-to-date results and information in the above research fields. Contributions to this Special Issue centered on detection, manipulation, imaging, characterization, monitoring, fabrication, instrumentation, methodologies and new concepts are 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 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.
