Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of disease diagnostics, offering enhanced levels of sensitivity and specificity. Nanoparticle-based optical sensors stand out in this domain, pushing the boundaries of early disease detection. Using the unique interactions of nanoparticles with light, these optical sensors accurately detect and quantify biomolecules, such as pH levels and metal ions, in a range of bodily fluids and biological samples. This acute detection is pivotal for identifying early signs of disease, allowing for prompt and potentially preventive measures.
In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions that delve into the latest advancements in nanoparticle-based optical sensors and examine their profound implications for the evolution of biomedical diagnostics and patient care.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
