Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of 3D bioprinting—a multidisciplinary domain that is reshaping the future of biomedical science and engineering. It aims to spotlight the latest innovations in the design and implementation of bioprinting technologies, with a focus on how these advances are being translated into practical applications.
This Special Issue aims to illustrate the novel bioprinting strategies, the development of functional bioinks, and the integration of bioprinted constructs into research settings. Topics may include, but are not limited to, scaffold fabrication, tissue and organ modeling, regenerative therapies, and personalized healthcare solutions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Biomolecules 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.
