Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences is pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of bioprinting. The aim of this Special Issue is to capture the latest research findings, technological advances and applications at the intersection of this transformative field. We invite researchers, scientists and practitioners to contribute high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews and insightful case studies.
We invite contributions that address advances in 3D bioprinting technologies. Another focus is on biomaterials for bioprinting. Research should address the development and characterization of novel biomaterials, focusing on their biocompatibility, mechanical properties and functional performance in bioprinting applications.
We are also looking for studies that demonstrate the practical applications of bioprinting in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This includes case studies and research on bioprinted tissues and organs, as well as applications that demonstrate the potential of bioprinting in regenerative medicine. In addition, we welcome studies on cellular and molecular interactions in bioprinted constructs, investigating how cells interact with each other and with biomaterials in bioprinted structures, as well as the molecular pathways involved in tissue formation and development within these constructs. Finally, we are interested in exploring bioprinted organ and tissue models for disease research, including the creation and use of these models to study disease mechanisms and their application in drug testing, toxicology studies and personalized medicine.
We encourage you to submit papers that showcase innovative research, novel methods and transformative applications that bridge the gap between these exciting fields.
Dr. Rui Vitorino
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
