Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world. Tumor markers such as proteins, miRNAs, circulating tumor cells, or tumor-derived extracellular vesicles play an important role in early diagnosis and disease progression monitoring. Various methods have been reported for detecting single or multiplex tumor biomarkers. Microfluidics technology has shown a promising and powerful tool for biological detection due to its outstanding advantages, including its miniaturization, automation, portability, parallel analytical ability, minimal handling of hazardous materials, small reagent consumption, and point-of care diagnosis. Most importantly, all operation steps, including sample pre-treatment, reaction, and detection, can be integrated into one microfluidic platform for on-site test applications. To date, a large number of microfluidic platforms have been reported to combine with different kinds of technologies for tumor biomarker detection. We encourage the submission of original research articles and reviews that focus on the topic “Recent Trends and Advances in Lab-on-a-Chip for Biosensing Applications” related to tumor markers.

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.
