Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organoids represent a pivotal advancement in the fields of regenerative medicine and disease modeling. By applying cutting-edge bioengineering technologies, we can now recreate in vitro cell structures that closely mimic real organs—commonly referred to as organoids. This innovative approach has already led to the development of several bioengineered tissues that have reached clinical trial stages and provided in vitro models for a variety of diseases. These models offer an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the molecular pathways involved in pathogenesis with greater precision. Despite the significant progress made, challenges remain in enhancing the fidelity of organoids to fully replicate the complexity of in vivo organs, particularly in recreating multicellular structures. In the upcoming Special Issue of Bioengineering on "Organoids: A Novel Approach to Biological Research and Modeling", we will present the latest breakthroughs in regenerative medicine, stem cell technology, bioengineered tissues, and disease modeling. Leading experts from around the globe will share their contributions to this rapidly evolving and critical field of scientific research.
We look forward to your engagement with this important collection of work.

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.
