Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of additive manufacturing/3D printing is/has been rapidly evolving and with its integration into/with regenerative medicine, it represents a groundbreaking advancement, particularly for the development of resorbable scaffolds. These scaffolds play a crucial role in tissue engineering by providing structural support and facilitating cellular activity necessary for tissue regeneration. Ceramics and polymers, known for their biocompatibility, stability, and ability to successfully integrate with biological tissues, offer unique advantages for creating scaffolds tailored to specific applications/defects.
This Special Issue delves into the latest research and innovations in 3D-printed scaffolds, exploring diverse fabrication techniques, material compositions, and design strategies. This Special Issue aims to highlight the potential of these scaffolds in various regenerative medicine applications, including bone and cartilage repair, as well as their role in overcoming the current challenges in the field. Through a collection of original research articles and reviews, we seek to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, emerging trends, and future directions, fostering collaboration and inspiring new approaches in the pursuit of effective regenerative therapies.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
