Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of MEMS technology to biology has contributed to a wide range of application from basic biology to clinical applications. In particular, engineering cells and tissues by the development of bio-MEMS technologies have elucidated the fundamentals of cellular behaviour, the mechanisms of cell and tissue assembly, and the conditions of clinical applications in tissue regeneration. Recent development of microfabrication technologies such as complex microfluidic chips, 3D micro- patterning, and 3D lithography leads us to new research areas that have not been challenged before in cell tissue engineering. Research areas such as organoid formation, body on a chip, and microphysiological sysems will be novel challenging fields using these novel MEMS technologies.
This Special Issue will collect research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on novel bio-MEMS technologies for engineering cells and/or tissue.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
