Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In vivo and in vitro biosensors are emerging as promising devices for biomedical research and drug diagnostics as they enable continuous, long-term monitoring of specific target analytes (chemicals or biomolecules) in real biological systems. The association of biosensing systems with nanoparticles has led to great developments in the field. Furthermore, they have boosted sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to focus on the latest developments in biosensors from in vitro/in vivo assays into diagnostics, offering a platform for this subject that is in line with the scope of this journal. Therefore, articles considered for submission must address the development of new nanobiosensors related to innovative bioreceptors/transducers, new methodologies for diagnosis, and unique applications for in vivo and in vitro conditions. In this Special Issue, both original research articles and review articles are welcome. The themes must involve:
- Nanotechnology: New and advanced nanotechnology that is or can be used in the development of innovative biosensors for in vitro/in vivo conditions, such as metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles, fluorometric assays, electrochemiluminescent immunoassay, PCR assays, CRISPR/Cas multiplexed biosensing, SERS-based multiplex analysis, and lab-on-chip assay, among others.
- Theranostics and diagnostic medical applications: Development of innovative biosensors for therapy monitoring and disease detection.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
