Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of plastic and reconstructive surgery has seen significant advancements through the integration of biomedical engineering techniques. Innovations in this interdisciplinary field are crucial for improving patient outcomes and overcoming the limitations of traditional surgical methods. This Special Issue aims to present the latest research and developments in the application of biomedical engineering to plastic and reconstructive surgery, with additional interest in metabolic biomarkers for their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, methods, mini-reviews, and perspectives, including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Advanced biomaterials for tissue engineering and reconstruction;
- 3D bioprinting and its applications in reconstructive surgery;
- Cell-based therapies for enhanced wound healing and tissue regeneration;
- Development and optimization of scaffolds for soft and hard tissue repair;
- Integration of sensors and smart materials for postoperative monitoring;
- Biomechanics and mechanobiology in reconstructive procedures;
- Personalized and precision medicine approaches in plastic surgery;
- New techniques for vascular and nerve regeneration;
- Computer-aided design and simulation for preoperative planning and surgical training;
- Novel drug delivery systems for infection control and improvement of healing;
- Adipocyte biology and its role in tissue regeneration and repair;
- Impact of surgical interventions on metabolic markers;
- Identification and utilization of metabolic biomarkers as future diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
We hope this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive update on the synergies between biomedical engineering, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and the role of metabolic biomarkers, showcasing cutting-edge research and its clinical implications.

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.
