Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The basic understanding of in-vivo sensing/actuating mechanisms inspires novel ideas to addressing challenges in various life science applications including point-of-care disease diagnostics (PoCD), environmental monitoring, automation of biological and chemical laboratories, pharmacological and food industries and etc.
This special issue shall consider the publication of research or review papers papers that address the challenge of developing Biologically Inspired Sensor and Actuator (BioSA) systems such as nanopore DNA sequencers or micr-robots respectively. BioSA is a multidisciplinary research approach to mimick the biological micro-environments using standard Integrated Microelectronic Circuitsuch as complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS), Micro-electromechanical System (MEMS) and Microfluidic techniques.
This Special Issue addressing the design, implementation, modeling, characterization, validation, and/or optimization of BioSA platforms consisiting of CMOS, MEMS or Microfluidic devices for bioengineering or biomedical engineering applications such as drug testing or other fundamental biological studies.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
