Nanoscale biosensors involve bio-elemental related nanostructured sensors, concerning construction and chemo\/bioanalysis applications, which can be regarded as one of the most successful branches of nanosensors. The rapidly expanding of nanoscale biosensors is very likely owing to the fast fierce and continuous advancement in nanomaterials and nanostructures, new types of physical supports together with advanced biofunctionalization techniques, new receptors and their applications for analysing representative real samples, making them one of the most advanced and competitive sensing tools. The application scopes of nanoscale biosensors are wide-ranging and very diverse, including food and agriculture, environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics and therapeutics, life sciences, counterterrorism and safety, and so on.\u00a0The aim of this themed collection issue is to cover recent development of nanoscale biosensors combining with diverse detection methods including optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric, etc, as well as chemical analysis related to molecular biology, antigen antibodies, enzymes, proteins and other biological elements. The issue will bring together the recent developments in: smart construction strategies for nanoscale biosensors; innovative optical, electrochemical, piezoelectric, molecular biology, or other detection technologies at the transducer scheme; new nanomaterials and nanostructures; hybrid devices; improvement of sensitivity, miniaturization and multiplexing capabilities; nanoarray formats; sensors based on molecular biology, antigen antibodies, enzymes, proteins,oligonucleotides, peptides and other biological substances, molecularly imprinted polymers, optofluidics, lab-on-chip and point-of-care platforms, etc; new routes of biofunctionalization; protein analysis, single-molecule detection, typical biological contaminants monitoring, and typical chemical pollutants analysis related to bio-materials, covering the full spectrum of possible applications of nanoscale biosensors. Other interesting fundementals and applications of nanoscale biosensors are also welcome.
