Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used in different applications ranging from catalytic, photocatalytic, drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensors, due to their significant porosity, good morphology, ability to functionalize, ability to have modified zeta potential, etc. Furthermore, the toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of the MOFs could be optimizable in different microenvironments through cost-effective, green, and scalable methods. The surface of MOFs could be modifiable with different ligands/linkers/small molecules in order to be sensitized to pre-determined sequences/biomarkers; therefore, they have been widely used as optical and electrochemical probes for the detection of different biomarkers. In this Special Issue, the aim is to study advanced functional MOFs that can identify specific biomarkers in various environments by optical and electrochemical methods. To this aim, a mixture of formats for manuscripts including original research, mini-reviews, and perspective articles are welcomed.

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.
