Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics and Bio-MEMS drive technological innovation, particularly in medical diagnostics, drug delivery, and biological research. Within these systems, actuators—as integral components—play a crucial role in precisely manipulating fluids and biological samples. This Special Issue, entitled "Microfluidic and MEMS Devices for Biologically Inspired Actuators," aims to compile cutting-edge research and developments in this dynamic field. By focusing on new actuator designs, fabrication techniques, and their diverse applications, we provide a platform for groundbreaking work that can shape the future of microfluidics and Bio-MEMS. We encourage submissions exploring both theoretical and practical aspects, offering insights into experimental research, advanced simulations, and real-world applications. Researchers, engineers, and practitioners seeking to enhance microfluidic devices’ functionality and application scope will find this issue a valuable resource.

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. Actuators 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 2400 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.
