Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics has emerged as a transformative platform in biomedical research, enabling the precise manipulation of fluids at the microscale to address critical challenges in healthcare. Over the past two decades, advancements in this field have transformed traditional laboratory processes, enabling the development of miniaturized platforms that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. These breakthroughs have contributed to applications in disease diagnosis, drug discovery, tissue engineering, and personalized medicine.
This Special Issue, “Advanced Microfluidics Technology for Disease Diagnosis and Treatment”, seeks contributions on the latest advancements and emerging trends in microfluidics. We warmly invite you to contribute original research articles, reviews, and short communications that highlight novel methodologies, technologies, and applications of microfluidics in biomedical research. Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Microfluidic platforms for disease diagnosis and therapeutic development.
- Innovations in droplet-based and acoustic microfluidics.
- Organ-on-a-chip systems for modeling human physiology and disease.
- Advanced sensing devices for the detection of cells, biomarkers, environmental and toxic chemicals, etc.
- Microfluidics for drug screening, cell manipulation, and personalized medicine.
- Advanced micro/nanofabrication of micro/nanodevices and systems for biomedical applications.
- Artificial intelligence-enhanced microfluidic devices.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
