Artificial Organs and Biofabrication of Human Organs
This special issue belongs to the section “Regenerative Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, the invention of various biomedical engineered devices or the creation of in vitro organ, tissue, or cell models has aimed to fully replace or partially model the function of specific organs or tissues. The concept that an artificial device or system can permanently or temporarily augment a failing organ or an in vitro model can recapitulate some aspects of organ-level functions so that a disease can be modeled in a lab enabling scientists to discover new therapeutic. This special collection focuses on the latest invention in the field of artificial organs, including lung and kidney assist devices, the development of new biomaterials and biofabrication technologies for tissue engineering purposes, and the development of surface modifications or strategies for blood-compatible materials.

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.
