Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics involves the manipulation of fluids in a very small volume, providing precise control over tiny amounts of chemicals, cells, and various biomaterials. Due to the small scale of microfluidic chips, significantly less sample and reagent volumes are required, resulting in cost savings and reduced waste. In addition, microfluidics can perform many experiments in parallel, increasing the throughput and efficiency. Due to these and other unique advantages compared to conventional techniques, microfluidics has been applied to a wide range of biomedical applications. This Special Issue focuses on the latest technical innovations and advancements in microfluidics, with a particular emphasis on biomedical applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Cell analysis: directed cell migrations such as electrotaxis and chemotaxis;
- Organ-on-a-chip;
- Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine;
- Drug development and screening;
- Diagnostics and point-of-care testing;
- Gene sequencing and molecular biology.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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 2600 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.
