Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of 3D bioprinting technologies into cancer research offers unprecedented opportunities for the replication of complex tumor microenvironments, enabling more physiologically relevant disease models. This Special Issue aims to synthesize high-quality contributions that explore the application of 3D bioprinting in advancing cancer biology, from the modeling of tumor heterogeneity and metastasis to the testing of drug responses and the development of personalized therapies. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives that address technological innovations, biomaterial development, tissue engineering strategies, and translational approaches using 3D bioprinting to improve the understanding and treatment of cancer. Contributions that discuss interdisciplinary efforts and clinical implications are especially encouraged.
Dr. Aranzazu Villasante

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.
