Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovative, revolutionary, cutting-edge technologies, such as CRISPR gene editing, are the driving forces behind new discoveries in science. In recent decades, we have been able to measure ion and metabolite levels in vitro or in heterologous systems, e.g., using a GFP-reporter system and mass spectrometry. However, our knowledge of the locations and dynamics of metabolites, as well as the regulation in the cellular levels, is still poor. The fluorescent (bio)sensors for molecule detection in vivo can provide information with high spatiotemporal resolution and can serve as a powerful tool for identifying missing components, processes, and signaling pathways.
This Special Issue welcomes papers relating to all types of fluorescent sensors designed for the detection of molecules and metabolites.

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.
