Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro- and nano-technologies have become essential components for a better analysis of single cells, cellular tissues and organs in the human body. Recent advances in micro- and nano-technologies such as cell chips, Lab on a Chip, microphysiological system and BioMEMS have made major contributions to improving the current biological technologies such as liquid biopsy, point of care, drug development, regenerative medicine, etc.
This Special Issue, will therefore focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews dealing with cutting-edge micro- and nano-technologies for cell or cell-relative molecule analysis. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced micro- or nano-fabrication methods for biological experiments or surgery;
- Advanced biosensors for analyzing cells (cell-relative molecules) or cellular tissues;
- Advanced imaging method for observing and evaluating single-cell or tissue conditions;
- Advanced microfluidics device or technology for cell analysis;
- Advanced micro/nano-actuators or robotics for cell analysis and manipulations.
Other relevant technical articles and state-of-the-art technology reviews in the field are also welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Bioengineering 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.
