Dear Colleagues,

Research in biosensors is crucial for the development of tools that can detect biomarkers and herald the existence of underlying pathogens and illnesses. For instance, the recent Covid-19 crisis has proven the need for such biosensors providing results fast and accurately. Additionally, there is still a continuing need for the diagnosis and monitoring of illnesses and disorders such as cancer, diabetes, and vitamin deficiencies. Other notable applications of biosensors are environmental monitoring and food quality control to sustain healthy resources. Recent advances in biochemistry, nanotechnology, machine learning, and wearable electronics promise a new generation of biosensors that can provide real-time data and fast processing times to prevent delays. In this Special Issue, we are inviting studies that present novel procedures and strategies for the development of highly sensitive and selective biosensors in healthcare services, the agricultural/food industry, and environmental monitoring.

The Special Issue is also the Joint Special Issue of Symmetry [ISSN 2073-8994, SCIE Indexed, IF 2.645].

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. Signals is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
