Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid recovery of damaged tissue is one of the most substantial challenges in tissue engineering (TE). The TE field has swiftly developed to design and develop suitable constructs for damaged tissue over the past few years. Biomaterials have received significant attention for tissue engineering & regenerative medicine, and their immune responses play vital roles in tissue regeneration. In particular, biopolymers are considered a promising platform for tissue engineering applications. Additionally, in recent, the 3D-printing technique has been widely utilized to construct the desired structures that can accelerate tissue regeneration. Printed hydrogels are considered the promising materials for TE applications due to their resemblance in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the native tissue, facilitating rapid cell proliferation and tissue regeneration.
Thus, the special issue invites papers that goes through recent advances in 3D printing of polymers for biomedical applications. We welcome the type of papers: original, review, and communications.
We look forward to receiving your contribution.

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 2600 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.
