20 Jan 2026

We’re pleased to inform you that this new themed collection from Sensors & Diagnostics has now been published online.

This collection was guest edited by Prof. Long Ma (Tianjin University of Science and Technology), Prof. Xiaoming Zhou (South China Normal University), Dr Xinkuan Cheng (Tianjin University of Science and Technology) to highlight the complex interactions between CRISPR-based diagnostics and healthcare by providing valuable insights and practical significance to promote the development of CRISPR-based diagnostics within the field. The contributions span a wide range of topics, including integration of CRISPR with biosensing technologies, point of care diagnostics as well as biomedical and clinical applications of CRISPR based diagnostic tools.

Taken together, this collection highlights the continuing evolution of CRISPR based diagnostic tools, with contributions from researchers across the globe. We hope that readers will be inspired by these representative studies to further explore the vast potential of CRISPR based diagnostic tools and their application in healthcare diagnostics.

The articles in this collection are featured below. All articles in Sensors & Diagnostics are open access and free to read.
