Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an innovative technology, which has received growing attention from researchers all over the world, mainly because of its wide range of biomedical applications. Recent advancements in biofabrication technologies have driven outstanding innovations in the area of bioengineering, biology, regenerative medicines, and medical device. In particular, bioprinting have been employed to create various biomaterials and print tissue and organ models, significantly accelerating progress in tissue engineering. Nevertheless, properties of engineered living constructs are still far from replicating those of native tissues and organs, mainly due to the inherent complexity and the requirement for a substantial number of cells to create functional organs.
This Special Issue covers bioinks and novel biofabrication systems, 3D printed tissues (organs, bone, cartilage, blood vessels, skin, muscle, etc.), biomaterial formulations, and other relevant topics. Review articles, communications, and research papers that focus on novel developments related to 3D bioprinting and biofabrication technologies are all welcome.

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. Micromachines 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.
