Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Field-effect transistors (FETs) as biosensors are utilized for detection and monitoring by using various materials, carbon-, and polymer-based materials. Recently, FETs-based biosensors were utilized for immune diagnosis owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and have been developed for the detection of infectious pathogens. In particular, FETs-based biosensors integrated with a chip are required for the improvement of lab-on-a-chip technology, enabling an efficient, rapid, and cost-effective point-of-care diagnosis. These miniaturized FET-based biosensors can detect biomarkers, proteins, and nucleic acids with high sensitivity and specificity. Lab-on-a-chip platforms incorporating FET biosensors have revolutionized healthcare by providing real-time, on-site diagnostics, reducing the need for centralized laboratories, and minimizing turnaround times. This advancement is pivotal in remote and resource-limited areas, ensuring timely disease detection and management. FET-based biosensors on lab-on-a-chip devices are poised to play a critical role in personalized medicine, early disease detection, and continuous health monitoring, making them indispensable tools in the future of healthcare.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on the following topics: (1) field-effect transistor platform development for biosensors using new technologies; (2) lab-on-a-chip-based FET platform for rapid detection and diagnosis; and (3) a point-of-care diagnosis system for on-site application etc.

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.
