Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced in vitro cell culture systems, including microfluidic organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platforms, represent novel and promising technologies in biomedicine. These systems aim to mimic the features of human organs outside of the body. They are increasingly being employed to study the functionality of different organs for applications such as disease modeling, drug evolutions, and personalized medicine. In addition, these in vitro models can accelerate the development of drugs by eliminating or reducing animal testing.
This Special Issue aims to elucidate these promising and dynamic areas of research and gather original research articles and comprehensive reviews on the role of these in vitro models and platforms in order to further enhance the application of disease modeling and drug screening in preclinical studies.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Novel devices/materials for organ-on-a-chip platforms;
- High-throughput in vitro platforms for drug screening applications;
- Biosensor integration with in vitro models;
- Advanced stimuli-responsive material applications for in vitro models;
- 3D bioprinting applications for organ-on-a-chip platforms.

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 2700 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.
