Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The efficient fabrication of biomaterials for tissue regeneration and medical device applications has a significant impact on today's healthcare technology.
The tunable physicochemical properties, mechanical strength, elasticity, and inexpensive preparation methods have allowed researchers working with polymers and nanomaterials to create a variety of inspiring biomaterial scaffolds like electrospun nanofiber, printable ink, and thin film, using the appropriate features. Using advanced biofabrication technologies, including bioprinting, the biomaterials are formulated into several biomedical devices, such as organ-on-a-chip devices, microsystems, biomimetic organoids, photobiomodulation patches, and smart medical devices. These fabricated biomedical devices exhibit remarkable cell–biomaterial interaction, cell biocompatibility, controlled drug delivery, biosensing, etc. They aim to improve tissue regeneration potential, thereby making a significant impact on healthcare technology.
This Special Issue aims to provide readers with an innovative platform to better understand the most recent research developments and challenges in preparing inspiring biomaterials for diverse biomaterial scaffolds and medical devices within the biomedical sector. Researchers are encouraged to influence this endeavor by contributing papers, reviews, or communications on this general subject.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
