Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A variety of biomaterials, including hydrogels, bioceramics, and polypeptides, have been widely used in biomedical applications, such as bioadhesives, bioelectronics, medical implants, organ-on-chips, and drug delivery systems. The design and fabrication of predictive structures and functions are essential for the development of advanced biomaterials. It is most effective to realize the targeted composition–structure–function relationship using advanced biofabrication technologies, such as micropatterning, electrospinning, and 3D bioprinting. In light of this, there is a high demand for versatile biomaterials as well as novel biofabrication technologies, which in turn leads to new opportunities in bio-design, biomimetics, and regenerative applications.
In this perspective, this Special Issue aims to publish research articles, short communications, and topical reviews focusing on innovative biomaterials and biofabrication technologies for biomedical applications. Some relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
- The development of novel biomaterials (e.g., dynamic hydrogels, double network hydrogels, bioactive glasses, and biodegradable metals) for biomedical applications;
- Innovation in 3D bioprinting and other biofabrication technologies;
- Applications of biomaterials and biofabrication (e.g., tissue engineering, drug screening, disease modeling, bioadhesives, organ-on-a-chip, bioelectronics, and other related applications).
We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.
