Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The biomedical detection of disease biomarkers and biological molecules has undergone a revolution in the last few decades, driven by groundbreaking research in nanomaterial-based biosensors. These types of biosensors display enhanced selectivity and sensitivity and rapid responses in detecting a wide range of disease biomarkers and biological molecules, even at ultra-low concentrations, due to the augmented surface-to-volume ratio-based enhanced physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials used. Effective biorecognition events are made possible by nanoparticles, nanoclusters, nanowires, and quantum dots, which allow for multiplexed, dependable, and real-time detection in a variety of biological samples, including blood and tissue fluids. By enabling data-driven analysis and remote health monitoring, the integration of such nanomaterial-based biosensors with artificial intelligence and point-of-care systems improves diagnostic capabilities further. Therefore, nanomaterial-based biosensors have great potential to improve non-invasive biological monitoring, tailored medicine, and early diagnosis, all of which will have a significant influence on human healthcare.
While numerous reviews and studies have covered the individual aspects of nanomedicine, there remains a need for an integrative outlook that spans from nanomaterial design to clinical translation. This Special Issue distinguishes itself by combining cross-functional perspectives linking material innovation with diagnostic efficacy with precision, and thereby filling a critical gap in the existing literature and aligning with the latest developments in personalized and precision medicine.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
