Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New trends in sensing technologies, innovative 3D biomaterials, and novel measurement techniques have recently gained increasing attention for several cellular and biological tissue applications. The evaluation of the mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties of biological tissues is essential, for instance, in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications to ensure the correct development, functionality, and the maintenance of the transplanted tissues. Similarly, the development of innovative biomaterials together with innovative technologies applied for their characterization assumes a relevant role in promoting new approaches for the cellular mechanotransduction, mechanosensing, and mechanobiology study. All the emerging technologies for biological applications, including biosensors, fiber optic sensors, transducers, and bioreceptors, can also widely contribute to deepen the knowledge of the mechanisms behind pathological impairments through an extensive characterization of the material under testing.
The aim of this Special Issue is therefore to focus on the most emerging technologies, novel devices, innovative biomaterials, or applications in the biological and biomedical fields. Both original research papers and review articles describing the current state of the art in this research field are welcome. Particular attention should be given to the metrological characterization of the proposed technologies.
The list of topics includes but is not limited to the following:
- Mechanical and/or electrical characterization of specific biomaterials and biological cells and tissues;
- Innovative measurement techniques for cell, biomaterial, or tissue characterization;
- Metrological characterization of sensors systems or novel devices for cell and tissue 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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
