Recent Advances in 3D Printing of Biomaterials
This special issue belongs to the section “Synthesis of Biomaterials via Advanced Technologies“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements and trends in bioprinting, a field at the intersection of biology, materials science, and engineering. Its purpose is to showcase innovative research and developments in bioprinting technologies, materials, and applications, particularly elucidating how these advancements contribute to medical science and tissue engineering. This Special Issue will be situated within the existing literature by drawing on the latest research findings and discussing the current challenges and future directions in bioprinting. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, facilitating a deeper understanding of bioprinting’s potential and limitations, and fostering discussions that could lead to novel research avenues, collaborations, and applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
