Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a world of ever-increasing early-stage detection and treatment demand of devastating diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease), recent advances in the use of plasmonic biosensors have proven that they are promising tools for better public health. Unlike other possible treatment modalities, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, well-designed biosensing platforms based on optical signal transduction mechanisms, particularly the plasmonic biosensors as a counterpart of photonic biosensors, have the role of possessing innovative solutions as a bridge between biological/medical needs and sensing technologies. Within this framework, the transformative rise of plasmonic tools provides a potentially safer toolbox both at the cellular and molecular level by enabling high-throughput, label-free, quick, real-time, low-cost, high-specificity, and ultrasensitive detection.
Harnessing enhanced light-matter interactions through specialized building blocks, plasmonics technology has been getting involved in a new phase of biomedical and biochemical point-of-care analyses. From a more applied perspective, researchers are now able to tailor and produce next-generation plasmonic instruments for on-site theranostics and modern clinical applications, by improving their reliability, responsivity, and sensitivity one step further.
In this Special Issue of Biosensors, we seek the state-of-the-art research and development efforts in field of plasmonic biosensors. Both original article and review submissions are welcome.

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.
