Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is gaining considerable attention as a promising area, not only for creating three-dimensional engineered tissues for the reconstruction of damaged tissues but also for investigating complex physiological interactions between tissues through various strategies, such as 3D bioprinting, microfluidic devices, and bioactive molecules. Furthermore, the recent success of mRNA vaccines in clinical applications has inspired discussions on new, promising approaches in regenerative medicine.

This Special Issue entitled “Gels in Tissue Engineering” aims to showcase recent advances and comprehensive studies in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a particular emphasis on versatile biomaterials, including those combined with extracellular vesicles (EVs), as well as targeted biomolecular delivery systems, 3D printing technologies, and microfluidic platforms. Submissions are not limited to these areas; we also welcome authoritative review articles that synthesize current strategies for addressing major disorders of global relevance. Both original research articles and reviews are encouraged, and all submissions will undergo rigorous peer review and be published in an open access format.

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. Gels 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 2100 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.
