Advances in Tissue Engineering and Next-Generation Biomaterials: From Techniques to Emerging Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This upcoming Special Issue of Bioengineering is inspired by the Workshop on Additive Biofabrication (WAB 2026), which will be held in Spain. The issue will feature contributions at the intersection of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and bioengineering, highlighting innovative strategies for repairing, replacing, or regenerating damaged tissues and organs. Topics of interest include advances in biomaterials, biofabrication and bioprinting approaches, cell-based therapies, organ-on-chip models, and functional in vitro systems, as well as translational aspects such as preclinical evaluation, clinical applications, and regulatory considerations.

Beyond additive biofabrication, the Special Issue will welcome original research and reviews that address the broader spectrum of technologies and methodologies driving the field, from fundamental biological insights to engineering solutions with direct clinical relevance. By bringing together contributions from multiple disciplines, this Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge developments and promote collaboration across the biomedical engineering community, ultimately advancing the frontiers of tissue engineering and 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 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.
