Biosensors - Recent Advances and Future Challenges

The present book is devoted to all aspects of biosensing in a very broad definition including but not limited to biomolecular composition used in biosensors (e.g. biocatalytic enzymes DNAzymes abiotic nanospecies with biocatalytic features bioreceptors DNA/RNA aptasensors etc.) physical signal transduction mechanisms (e.g. electrochemical optical magnetic etc.) engineering of different biosensing platforms operation of biosensors in vitro and in vivo (implantable or wearable devices) self-powered biosensors etc. The biosensors can be represented with analogue devices measuring concentrations of analytes and binary devices operating in the YES/NO format possibly with logical processing of input signals. Furthermore the book is aimed at attracting young scientists and introducing them to the field while providing newcomers with an enormous collection of literature references.
