Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of regenerative medicine promises to provide effective treatments, and its development relies on novel technologies for cells and biomaterials, which are crucial for aiding advances in regenerative engineering. In general, tissue engineering involves the practices of combining cells, scaffolds, and biologically active molecules to reconstruct functional tissues or organs. Expanding upon this technique, this Special Issue proposes next-generation tissue engineering, which supplements conventional concepts of tissue engineering with the use of microenvironments, regenerative fields, and the latest technologies. In addition, this Special Issue found that by using cell sheet technology and 3D bioprinting, cell structures biofabricated with mesenchymal stem cells, derived from bone marrow or adipose tissues and biomaterials, have great potential to reconstruct functional and histological tissues. These cell structures can significantly aid the restoration of injured tissues, as well increasing the activity of cells composed of these structures. Moreover, cell structures can be used in clinical practices such as minimally invasive surgery, easy handling, or certainty. In conclusion, this Special Issue argues that next-generation tissue engineering is able to form the foundation of regenerative engineering and can be used to develop regenerative medicine.

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. 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.
