Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the third edition of the previous release of “Bioengineering and the Eye” and “Bioengineering and the Eye—2nd Edition”.
The field of eye regeneration is experiencing a surge of innovation, with tissue engineering and bioengineering offering promising solutions for debilitating conditions like corneal damage and retinal degeneration. Recent breakthroughs encompass stem cell therapies, the development of functional ocular tissue equivalents, and the application of advanced biomaterials as well as 3D bioprinting. Despite this progress, significant hurdles persist. Achieving the long-term, functional integration of engineered tissues with existing ocular structures and mitigating immune rejection remain key challenges that researchers are actively addressing.
A large host of concepts and technologies remain unexplored. The third edition of this Special Issue calls for original research articles, as well as reviews, that tackle ocular problems using bioengineering/biomedical/tissue engineering approaches.
Prof. Dr. Dimitrios Karamichos
Guest Editor
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.
