Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, “3D Bioprinting Strategies for the Regeneration Tissues and Organs”, which aims to present recent developments in the field of 3D bioprinting in biology and medicine.
Biomaterials-based biofabrication methods have gained much attention in recent years. Among them, 3D bioprinting is a pioneering technology to facilitate the recapitulation of unique features of complex human tissues and organs with high process flexibility and versatility. Bioinks, combinations of printable hydrogel and cells, can be utilized to create 3D cell-printed constructs. The bioactive cues of bioinks directly trigger cells to induce tissue morphogenesis. Various printable hydrogels, such as gelatin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, alginate, and decellularized extracellular matrix-based biomaterials can exert synergistic effects in supporting human cells at any component by facilitating specific physiological properties.
In this Special Issue, we aim to discuss bioprinting technologies, bioprinting process, and bioinks able to recapitulate the inherent microenvironmental niche in 3D cell-printed constructs. The collection of articles can serve as a toolbox for biomedical engineers who want to understand the beneficial characteristics of the bioinks and a basic set of fundamental criteria for engineering functional human tissues and organs and its applications to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
I thus invite you to submit your research on these topics, in the form of original research papers, mini-reviews, and perspective articles.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
