Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) models are sophisticated bioengineered tissue constructs integrated with microfluidic systems, designed to replicate the essential physiological characteristics of human organs and tissues. These models offer significant promise for advancing diagnostics and therapeutics; however, despite considerable progress in the field, OoC characterization still primarily relies on conventional, labor-intensive techniques. Effective monitoring of the physical environment, cellular functionality, and metabolic activity is crucial to ensure that the cells and their microenvironments accurately reflect in vivo conditions.

This Special Issue welcomes high-quality publications, including original research articles and reviews related to recent advances in biosensing technology for cells, tissues, and organs-on-a-chip applications.

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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
