Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two- and three-dimensional nanostructured materials are systems with one or more dimensions or features reduced to the nanoscale, thus presenting some unique and sometimes unprecedented physicochemical properties. The possibility of manipulating and regulating these properties makes them suitable for a variety of biosensing applications. A biosensor is identified based on its biomimetic receptor unit with exceptional specificities toward corresponding analytes. These analytes often stem from biological-origin macromolecules like DNAs of bacteria or viruses, as well as proteins generated from the immune systems of infected organisms. Moreover, in many cases, analytes may be endogenous small molecule metabolites, making them attractive biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis or prognosis. Furthermore, in many cases, analytes may be endogenous small-molecule metabolites, which are attractive biomarkers for clinical diagnosis or prognosis.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original and high-quality research papers covering the most recent advances, as well as comprehensive reviews addressing state-of-the-art topics in the field of the nanostructured materials for biosensing applications.
In advance, I would like to acknowledge the authors and reviewers who participate in the elaboration of this Special Issue and contribute to the development of research into nanostructured materials for biosensing applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
