Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Addressing our grand societal health-care challenges, regarding both human suffering and the ever-growing cost of health care, necessitates a paradigm shift from generic and reactive medicine to personalized, proactive, and preventive medicine. Implantable and wearable bioelectronics, which can leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, play a critical role in accomplishing this mission. The development of novel bioelectronic devices for biomedical applications has been an emerging field and drawn great attention from the scientific community. This is due to their potential live-streaming capability for sending out physiologically relevant data from the brain and body at high frequency and large scale, which can potentially help patients and healthcare providers make better decisions and revolutionize our healthcare system by facilitating the disease diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention. At the heart, we need reliable biosensors for physiologically relevant data acquisition. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in micro/nano-biosensing interfaces for implantable and wearable applications (e.g., on novel biosensing mechanisms, micro/nanofabrication methods, biosensor miniaturization strategies, wearable/implantable devices, and integrated biosensing systems).

We look forward to receiving your submissions!

Microneedles are getting more and more attention in research and commercialization since their advancement in the 1990s due to the advantages over traditional hypodermic needles such as minimum invasiveness, low material and fabrication cost, and precise needle geometry control, etc. The design and fabrication of microneedles depend on various factors such as the type of materials used, fabrication planes and techniques, needle structures, etc. In the past years, in-plane and out-of-plane microneedle technologies made by silicon (Si), polymer, metal, and other materials have been developed for numerous biomedical applications including drug delivery, sample collections, medical diagnostics, and bio-sensing. Among these microneedle technologies, in-plane Si microneedles excel by the inherent properties of Si such as mechanical strength, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and structural advantages of in-plane configuration such as a wide range of length, readiness of integration with other supporting components, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatible fabrication. This article aims to provide a review of in-plane Si microneedles with a focus on fabrication techniques, theoretical and numerical analysis, experimental characterization of structural and fluidic behaviors, major applications, potential challenges, and future prospects.
