Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The exploration of novel diagnostic methods and drug development for neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and other disorders, have become the leading fields of extensive studies due to the growing rates of the occurrence of these debilitating diseases. Along with classical biosensors and microfluidic platforms, the utilization of mitochondria and exosomes as attractive targets for gene therapy and non-invasive diagnostics are being considered as the bases for designing novel multifunctional biosensing systems.

The new Special Issue of Sensors is now devoted to biosensing systems based on microRNAs, proteins, exosomes, and mitochondria, which have the capability to serve as the biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases. This Special Issue offers original research works, short communications, and review articles focused on the current state-of-the-art biosensor designs, their construction and testing, as well as on the studies of new drug development based on the application of biosensing systems.

In this Special Issue, papers based on the electrochemical, optical, plasmonic, and nanogravimetric biosensors, as well as microfluidic systems, surface plasmon resonance enhancement, and other relevant measurement techniques will be included. 

I warmly invite researchers involved in the broad areas of biosensors to contribute original research papers or review articles to this Special Issue presenting the current progress in this field.

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.
