Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advances in 3D bioprinting materials and technologies for broad applications in tissue engineering. It aims to showcase cutting-edge research that drives the development of functional, biomimetic tissues through innovative biofabrication strategies.
Topics of interest include the design and optimization of bioinks and biomaterials, novel printing technologies, and multi-material fabrication approaches that enable precise control over tissue architecture and cellular microenvironments. Contributions that explore stem cell integration, protein engineering, synthetic biology, and controlled release systems for enhanced tissue regeneration are highly encouraged.
By covering diverse tissue types and interdisciplinary methods, this issue seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental materials science and practical regenerative applications. It provides a comprehensive platform for researchers developing next-generation biomaterials and bioprinting techniques aimed at improving tissue function, scalability, and clinical translation.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
