Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue focusing on "Small-Scale Devices in Biomedical Engineering". This research area is at the forefront of innovation, with significant implications for healthcare, diagnostics, and therapeutics. The integration of small-scale devices into biomedical applications has revolutionized medical practices, enabling precise control, enhanced sensitivity, and portability. From microfluidic devices for point-of-care diagnostics to miniaturized implants for drug delivery, the development and utilization of small-scale devices are transforming the landscape of biomedical engineering.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and applications of small-scale devices in biomedical engineering. It aligns with the scope of our journal, which emphasizes interdisciplinary research at the interface of engineering and life sciences. By highlighting the significance of small-scale devices, we aim to foster discussions and collaborations among researchers, engineers, and clinicians, ultimately advancing the field of biomedical engineering.
We welcome original research articles and reviews addressing various aspects of small-scale devices in biomedical engineering. Potential themes for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following topics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue, which promises to be a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research in the field of small-scale devices in biomedical engineering.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
