Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advanced nanomaterials have served as an excellent platform for optical imaging biosensors to improve cancer detection, diagnosis, and image guided surgery while reducing the exposure of patients to harmful radiation caused by other traditional molecular imaging methods (e.g., X-ray, MRI, PET, SPECT, etc.). Optical imaging is amenable to high throughput analyses because images can be acquired in a few seconds, and multiple subjects can be imaged simultaneously; thus, the method can be used for lengthy and repeated procedures over time, to monitor the progression of disease or the results of treatment. Optical imaging is also highly sensitive and cost effective, and it is straightforward to use. Importantly, a single nanomaterial can incorporate various imaging agents and target ligands followed by bioconjugation on the surface or encapsulation of molecules. Thus, rationally designed nanomaterials possess multimodality in imaging with minimal side effects to adjacent tissues and organs. Therefore, recent advances in bio-nano-imaging have laid the groundwork for vibrant new interdisciplinary research. We look forward to receiving contributions in these research areas that push the boundaries of this exciting new field.

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.
