Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a pivotal approach in biofabrication, bioprinting uses computer-aided transfer processes to precisely combine cells and other biological elements with biomaterials into 3D-printed fully functional biological models, tissue scaffolds, implants, and many other therapeutic products. Driven by innovations in engineering, biology, and biomaterials, as well as by its own high potential, the bioprinting field has rapidly evolved in the last two decades, bringing marvelous and huge opportunities and enabling new research directions in regenerative medicine and biomedicine. Because the impact it has made has been and continues to be enormous, this Special Issue invites scientists working at universities, research institutes, laboratories, and industries to discuss state-of-the-art research and the newest developments in the field of bioprinting and biofabrication. In this Special Issue “Recent Advances in Bioprinting and Biofabrication”, we welcome full articles, short communications, or reviews to highlight all the recent findings that have broadened bioprinting and biofabrication horizons, including but not limited to the availability of new bioinks with improved rheological, biological, and mechanical properties; new bioprinting approaches; technological advancements of established techniques or processes; progress in translation of bioprinting technologies from bench to bedside; and achievements in the regulatory field.

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.
