Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has been widely applied for drug delivery and biosensing to improve the healthcare. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent research development concerning: a) novel delivery systems for improved drug therapeutic efficacy, b) mechanisms to guide the design of nanomedicines, c) in vitro and in vivo models to test the efficacy and safety profiles of nanomedicines, and d) imaging probes and tools for studying the transport, distribution, and execration of nanomedicines; and e) innovative imaging and sensing techniques and point-of-care devices for early diagnosis of cancer and sensing of microbial.
Papers addressing a wide range of nanotechnologies for drug delivery and biosensing innovations are sought, including but not limited to recent research and developments in the following areas: improving the solubility of poor water-soluble drugs, alleviating chemotherapy’s side effects, addressing tumor hypoxia, enhancing the efficacy of anticancer therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and immunotherapy) and antimicrobials, achieving early diagnosis of cancer, and test of bacteria species. Both review articles and original research papers associated with nanotechnology for drug delivery and biosensing are solicited.

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.
