Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biological samples such as blood, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and urine, are complex mixtures, whose analysis requires biosensing technologies for the identification of specific target molecules. For this reason, molecular recognition is a main function of biosensors. Antibodies are widely employed bioreceptors because of their highly specific antigen binding capacity. Immunosensors utilize an antibody layer as a molecular recognition layer to measure signals produced upon analyte binding, using various methods including electrochemical, optical, thermal, piezoelectrical, magnetic techniques. In addition to antibodies, other bioreceptors such as enzymes, aptamers, DNA, and RNA are broadly incorporated in the molecular recognition layer of biosensors. These immunosensors and chemosensors are utilized in various applications including medical diagnosis, drug discovery, environmental monitoring, and prosthetic devices. This Special Issue will focus on recent developments of immunosensors and chemosensors.
We are delighted to invite you to submit original research papers and review articles related to the application of antibodies or their derivatives in biosensing 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. 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.
