3D Tissue Engineering Techniques and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to launch a Micromachines Special Issue, titled “3D Tissue Engineering Techniques and Their Applications”. This Special Issue aims to highlight emerging scientific and engineering innovations of 3D tissue engineering and their transformative potential in bioscience and biomedical fields.

Recent advances in functional biomaterials, stem cells, and organoid cultures have enabled the development of physiologically relevant tissue-engineered human models in health and diseases. Integrated with novel technologies, such as molecular biosensors and nanomedicines, these tissue-engineered devices offer platforms for real-time molecular monitoring and modeling of live human physiological systems with unprecedented accuracy, resolution, and throughput. These technologies are playing a crucial role in facilitating disease diagnostics, molecular mechanisms, drug delivery, and screening, paving the way for the discovery of innovative therapeutic targets and treatment strategies for human diseases.

We invite interdisciplinary and original research and review articles on diverse topics, including, but not limited to, the following: novel designs of organ-on-chip; organoid culture systems; stem cell culture; biomaterials for 3D scaffolds and drug delivery systems; integrated biosensors; and real-time diagnostic tools and their applications in early disease diagnostics, disease pathway discovery, and drug screening. We specifically encourage contributions regarding human disease modeling and personalized medicines.

By contributing to this Special Issue, you will help create a comprehensive resource for scientists, engineers, and clinicians to combat human diseases with cutting-edge 3D tissue engineering technologies.

We look forward to your contributions.

Dr. Ninghao Zhu
Guest Editor

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.
