Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have paradigm-shifting potential to offer earlier and more complete diagnostic information in the form of a minimally invasive liquid biopsy. However, much remains unknown about EVs, and conventional analytical approaches are unable to provide precise information about the contents and sources of EVs. New approaches have emerged to analyze EVs at the single-particle level, including advances in digital assays, flow cytometry, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and more. Emerging results from these studies will provide the opportunity to study EV biogenesis, to correlate multiple biomarkers to enable higher diagnostic specificity, and to connect EV cargo with the source or destination cells. This Issue will feature articles that continue to advance biosensing technologies for the analysis of single EVs.

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.
