Nanosensors and Nanodevices for Disease Detection

Dear Colleagues,

New disease diagnostic technologies that can provide high accuracy and efficiency while being cost-effective are strongly required for the early prediction and prevention of cancer and infectious diseases and for maintaining a safe and healthy society. Nanobiosensors and nanodevices are strong candidates for developing tools that meet these requirements. Recent studies have focused on the development of various sensors for the diagnosis of diseases, including nanopore- and surface plasmon-based sensors, as well as sensors that exploit nitrogen-vacancy centers of diamond. However, each of them has different measurement probes for electricity, light, and magnetism, making it difficult to correlate the research findings and determine the development status of nanobiosensors and nanodevices used in disease diagnosis. Thus, this issue aims to summarize the existing findings on these nanotools and also present the current research state. Moreover, it will be a useful guide for researchers who do not specialize in sensor development, for companies interested in new business ideas, or even for future studies in this field. In addition to nanobiosensors and nanodevices, this issue also focuses on machine learning, which is essential for the analysis of big data obtained using such sensors.

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.
