Dear colleagues,
The implementation of Micro and Nano Sensors holds promise for improving the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of a wide range of medical diseases. The utilization of micro and nano sensors has shown great potential in different biomedical applications owing to their small size, outstanding sensitivity, and capacity to function effectively in harsh environments. Biomedical sensors have been devised to accurately and precisely measure physical, chemical, and biological parameters. The sensors have the capability to monitor various biological signals, including temperature, pressure, pH, and biomolecules like glucose, proteins, and DNA. One main application of micro and nano sensors in biomedicine is in the field of diagnostics. For example, nano sensors can be used to detect biomarkers of various diseases, including cancer, through binding to particular molecules that are present in a patient's blood or urine. This phenomenon has the potential to facilitate prompt identification and more precise therapeutic treatment. The development of micro- and nano-sensors has expanded to drug delivery applications, enabling real-time monitoring of drug levels and targeted and controlled drug delivery. Furthermore, there is ongoing research into the potential application of micro- and nano-sensors in implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers. These sensors have the capability to offer uninterrupted monitoring of a patient's vital signs, thereby helping prevent complications.
For this, it is important to collect the experiences of different Micro and Nano Sensors that have been implemented in biomedical applications. Research articles and reviews related to this topic are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
