Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern society is in urgent need of efficient systems to perform routine screening in the prognosis and diagnosis of every disease, but mainly those affecting a great majority of the world population, i.e., cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and degenerative illnesses. The establishment of sustainable healthcare systems implies developing new sensing technologies for patient care covering features such as reliable, fast, inexpensive, quantitative, and easy-to-use systems ensuing decentralized medical care, one of the main objectives of health care organizations.
Bearing in mind the very promising potential of electrochemical sensors in this field, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles displaying up-to-date research on novel advances in the field of electrochemical (bio)sensors for clinical markers with improved unique properties leading to highly reliable, stable, fast, low-cost, quantitative, and convenient methodologies. It also aims to show breakthroughs in microfabrication and microfluidic techniques coupled to electrochemical sensors, and the development of novel affordable materials and electronics to facilitate the production of small, portable, and cheap sensors for the determination of this kind of markers as part of routine medical examination, pursuing highly stable biosensing screening systems for continuous on-body determination or in vivo monitoring in a variety of body fluids towards the establishment of highly demanded preventive action and safe therapies.

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.
