Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Bioengineering, titled “3D Bioprinting for Vascular Tissue Engineering”, aims to showcase the latest advances in the creation of vascularized tissues using 3D bioprinting technologies. This Special Issue addresses one of the main challenges in tissue engineering: the development of robust, functional vascular networks, highlighting innovative methods, biomaterials, and bioinks that enable the fabrication of complex, perfusable vasculature within engineered tissues. Contributions will cover technical requirements for mimicking native blood vessel architecture, strategies for promoting angiogenesis and neovascularization, and the integration of vascular networks for nutrient delivery and waste removal in thick tissue constructs. The scope also encompasses applications in disease modeling, high-throughput drug screening, regenerative medicine, and medical device development. By bringing together research articles, reviews, and short communications, this Special Issue seeks to advance the field toward clinically relevant, vascularized tissue constructs for both in vitro and in vivo applications.
Dr. Vivian K. Lee

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.
