Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, huge advancements in the field of biomedical engineering have fostered significant progress in the development of cell culture systems which can better recapitulate the biological and physiological environment of the human body. However, the monitoring of cellular/tissue events in these systems relies heavily on either laborious bioassay measurements and/or end-point readouts such as immunohistochemical staining, which fails to respond to the external stimuli in non-invasive and in situ manners. To this end, there is an unmet need to integrate biosensing technologies with cell culture systems to provide substantial cellular and molecular biology insights in real time.
We anticipate that cutting-edge biosensing technologies that are compatible with advanced cells, tissues, and organs-on-chip culture systems will potentially enhance their performance in diagnostics and personalized therapeutics by providing unprecedented swathes of biosensing data.
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-chip applications.
Research areas may include the following:
- Electrochemical biosensors
- Optical biosensors
- Microfluidics
- Organs-on-chip
- Physical biosensors
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
