Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer's disease is a type of brain dysfunction and an illness that destroys the brain's gray matter, in which the patient’s mental abilities gradually decline, and the patient suffers from a type of memory disorder that has a gradual onset and progression. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Alzheimer's disease is currently the leading cause of disability for the elderly worldwide. This disease is one of the major health problems with a significant incidence through aging. The use of new technologies has simplified the diagnosis of various diseases. The diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease using biosensors have recently received great attention. As modern diagnostic tools, biosensors will play a vital role in laboratory and traditional diagnoses of biomarkers related to this irreversible neurodegenerative disease. Amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau proteins are the main biomarkers for diagnosing this disease. In this Special Issue, the latest research and review efforts in the field of biosensors for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease will be considered. The sensitive and selective detection of specific biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease will be considered, and the use of new technologies such as nanomaterials, novel polymers, and innovative platforms in the design of these biosensors can provide valuable miniature tools for future molecular diagnoses of this critical disease.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
