Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Key elements to be used for the monitoring of cultivation processes in tissue engineering are sensor systems. Various kinds of sensors are demanded to fulfil the diverse requirements of different cultivation strategies. Among those, biosensors are used for monitoring of metabolites, nutrients and pH, inertial sensors for the positioning, e.g., of a rotating bioreactor, sensors for physical strength impacting cells, acoustic sensors for cellular attachment, optical sensors for detection of cell layers and ultrasonic sensors for the detection of cell growth and tissue structures. For all of these sensor systems, it is essential to prove the function and to analyze the sensor signals using specialized software. Available technologies are based on electrochemical, physical or optical sensor principles.
This Special Issue aims to highlight advances in the development, testing, and modelling of such sensor systems on components, as well as on the system level. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sensors for bioreactors in tissue engineering
- New sensor technologies
- Embedded sensor signal processing
- Sensor data communication
- Case studies for the application of sensor sets

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.
