Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “3D Bioprinting for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” will explore advancements, challenges, and applications of 3D bioprinting for the creation of functional, complex tissue constructs for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This Special Issue aims to serve as a comprehensive resource on the latest methodologies and innovations within bioprinting, focusing on scaffold design, biomaterial selection, cellular interaction, tissue formation, process improvement, and post-printing maturation techniques. The goal is to bridge the gap between laboratory research and clinical application, showcasing how 3D bioprinting could revolutionize regenerative medicine through the production of viable tissue substitutes.
This Special Issue will address current limitations and the evolving potential of bioprinting in the creation of multi-material and multi-cellular constructs. Building on recent advancements in bioink formulations and bioprinting hardware, this Special Issue will provide insights into overcoming structural integrity challenges, cellular compatibility, and vascularization, all critical for achieving functional tissue architecture. By emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches, this Special Issue will offer readers a broader perspective on integrating biomaterials science, cell biology, and mechanical engineering principles. This thematic collection will both acknowledge foundational studies using 3D bioprinting for tissue engineering and highlight how new technologies and collaborative approaches are propelling the field toward fabricating scalable tissue constructs for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
