Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biofabrication and biomanufacturing represent innovative processes that are revolutionizing the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These processes involve the precise layering or assembly of biological materials, cells, and biomaterials to create functional living tissues or organs. Bioprinting, an advanced technology within biomanufacturing, holds immense potential for producing patient-specific implants, conducting drug testing, and advancing our understanding of complex biological systems. These technologies are poised to shape the future of healthcare by offering tailored solutions for a range of medical conditions.
This Special Issue on "Advanced 3D Bioprinting for Soft Robotics, Sensing, and Healthcare" delves into the cutting-edge applications and methodologies of 3D bioprinting within the realms of soft robotics, sensing technologies, and healthcare advancements. This curated collection of articles showcases the latest research and innovations in the field, offering a comprehensive overview of the potential and impact of bioprinting in transforming healthcare and robotics.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biofabrication techniques and materials;
- Soft Robotics and biohybrid actuators with biocompatibility;
- Biosensors, wearable, and implantable devices;
- Bioprinting for organ-on-chip models, tissue engineering, and therapeutics;
- Challenges and opportunities for highlighting successful transitions from research to practical applications;
- Future perspectives and emerging trends for bioprinting in soft robotics, sensing, and healthcare.
This curated collection of research articles, reviews, and case studies provides a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, engineers, and policymakers at the forefront of biofabrication, biomanufacturing, and 3D bioprinting. By spotlighting the remarkable progress in soft robotics, sensing technologies, and healthcare, this Special Issue serves as a catalyst for further advancements in these critical fields.
