Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are useful in numerous applications in medicine, including biomolecular sensing, monitoring cellular interactions with their microenvironment, and in assessing free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). Detection of antioxidants, free radicals, and particularly ROS have recently attracted much attention because of their diverse physiological and pathological effects. Such diverse, yet contrasting functions of ROS and superoxide as the primary member of the group in particular, make accurate determination of these biospecies an important and challenging task.
We are happy to announce the Special Issue of “Nanobiosensors to detect Reactive Oxygen Species”. It is an effort to include the most relevant work on state-of-the-art ROS biosensing using nanostructures such as nanoporous films, nanowires, etc., highlighting not only improved sensitivities, but also a higher level of specificity that allows real-time detection and quantification of ROS and RNS in both intracellular and extracellular milieus.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
