Printable Biomaterials from Tissue Engineering to Orthopedics: Fabrication, Mechanical Performance, and Biological Behavior

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the discussion of recent advances in printable biomaterials. The rapid advancements in 3D printing and bioprinting technologies have revolutionized the field of biomaterials, enabling the design and fabrication of complex, customized structures with applications that range from tissue engineering to orthopedic implants. Moreover,  the integration of 3D printing with other technologies such as microfluidics and robotics for enhanced fabrication is crucial for the design of novel technologies.

This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in printable biomaterials, encompassing their synthesis, characterization, functionalization, and clinical applications. We welcome contributions that explore the full spectrum of printable biomaterials, including hydrogels, bioceramics, polymers, and composite materials designed for tissue regeneration, orthopedic repairs, drug delivery, and other medical applications. Additionally, this Special Issue will focus on the design, synthesis and characterization of bioinks for the 3D bioprinting of tissues and scaffolds.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Bioengineering 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.
