Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent decades have witnessed the rapid development of cyber–physical systems (CPS) which have greatly benefitted society and even reformed our lifestyles. Sensors, as information input nodes, are the basic important element of the configuration of CPSs. Biosensors providing precise molecular information can greatly enrich CPS systems which allows for intelligent medical care, next-generation wearables, and even new types of human–machine interaction. Despite the huge market, there is still a large gap between current biosensing technologies and ideal biosensors in CPSs. The latter calls for miniaturized, integrated, flexible, and even soft devices without sacrificing the biosensing performance. This Special Issue is dedicated to covering innovations in a variety of related topics, from biosensing mechanisms to manufacturing and integration methods for biomolecule monitoring on portable or wearable flexible platforms. Articles reporting on the latest developments in flexible sensors, including electrochemical, optical, magnetic, and other transduction types, as well as other types of biosensor-related intelligent multiplex and multifunctional systems are of interest.
I invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Development and Applications of Flexible Biosensors”, comprising emerging research subjects with various applications. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Novel biosensing mechanisms applicable to scenarios inaccessible to equipment.
- Nanomaterial design for flexible and soft biosensors.
- Portable biosensors and multiplex biosensing systems.
- Flexible biosensor construction and integration methodology.
- Soft and stretchable biosensing devices and applications.
- Biosensor-based intelligent systems.
Research articles and detailed comprehensive review reports on recent developments in this field as well as achievements and new fabrication technologies relevant to biosensing and integrated systems will be considered for publication.

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.
