Luminescent Nanomaterials for Bioimaging and Biosensing

Dear Colleagues,

The landscape of preclinical and clinical practice has been revolutionized by the advent of bioimaging and biosensing, providing unparalleled insights across molecular, cellular, and organismal scales. Within this dynamic context, luminescent nanomaterials have emerged as transformative assets, propelling advancements from molecular sensing to real-time, in vivo investigations. This Special Issue embarks on an expedition into the forefront of contemporary research within the bioimaging and biosensing domain, capitalizing on the strides achieved in both engineering and fundamental science.

By serving as a platform for showcasing the latest strides in luminescent nanomaterials, including quantum dots, upconversion nanoparticles, quantum diamond, and fluorescent nanocomposites, this curated collection seamlessly bridges the chasm between nanotechnology innovation and its resounding biomedical potential. Encompassing an array of dimensions, the issue delves into pioneering imaging and sensing systems, intricate signal refinement, and cutting-edge image processing techniques. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence to augment analytical precision adds another layer of intrigue to this exploration. In line with the multidisciplinary nature of bioimaging and biosensing, this Special Issue extends its invitation to contributions spanning contrast-agent-assisted imaging techniques for a diverse array of preclinical and clinical applications. The overarching aspiration of this endeavor is to amplify diagnostic precision and optimize therapeutic strategies through the exceptional capabilities harbored by luminescent nanomaterials in the realm of bioimaging and biosensing. As we navigate through this compendium of knowledge and innovation, we venture closer to a future where nanomaterials play an increasingly pivotal role in reshaping how we perceive, diagnose, and treat complex biological phenomena.
