Micro/Nanofabrication Technologies for Life Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in micro/nanofabrication technologies have enabled the fabrication of advanced microdevices with complex micro/nanoscale 3D geometry, good biocompatibility, tunable/programable physical properties, and other unique properties. These technologies have a broad range of applications in life science, including in biomedical and bioengineering studies, biomimetics, and basic biology research on a wide variety of species.

This Special Issue seeks to gather and present state-of-the-art research papers focusing on micro/nanofabrication technology applications in life science and review papers showcasing emerging trends and the latest advances in this field, highlighting key challenges. We are particularly interested in research on novel micro/nanofabrication technologies with potential applications in life science, and innovative studies utilizing these technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• High-resolution fabrication;
• High-speed fabrication;
• Heterogeneous construct fabrication;
• Laser-based fabrication;
• Digital light processing (DLP)-based fabrication;
• Extrusion-based 3D printing;
• Biomaterials;
• Medicine;
• Bioengineering;
• Tissue engineering;
• Biomimetics;
• Microorganisms.

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. 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.
