Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the imperative of early disease diagnosis has reached a paramount level of significance. Current methods for measuring disease-related biomarkers primarily fall into two categories: nucleic acid amplification methods, such as PCR, and simpler diagnostic approaches utilizing lateral flow assays (LFA). Despite their widespread use, these methods exhibit limited sensitivity, thereby complicating early disease treatment. This has led to an escalating demand for the development of multifunctional biosensors that harness various nanomaterials, offering a promising avenue for the effective diagnosis of a spectrum of diseases. Consequently, this Special Issue aspires to comprehensively explore both the fundamentals and applications of biosensors utilizing diverse nanomaterials, providing a nuanced understanding of the evolving landscape of diagnostic innovation in the post-pandemic era. As the world grapples with the challenges posed by emerging diseases, the focus on leveraging nanomaterials in biosensor technology becomes pivotal, offering a potential paradigm shift in early and accurate disease detection.

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. Biosensors 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 2700 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.
