Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Micromachines, titled “Advances in Microfluidic Technologies for 3D Cell Culture, Organ-on-a-Chip, Regenerative Trials and Translational Medicine”, showcases transformative innovations in microfluidic technologies, revolutionizing biomedical research and clinical applications. Its contributions focus on 3D cell culture systems mimicking physiological environments, organ-on-a-chip platforms replicating human organ functions, and their roles in regenerative medicine and translational trials. Its scope spans novel microfluidic devices, biomaterials, and integration with stem cell therapies, alongside advancements in disease modeling, drug screening, and personalized medicine. Contributions highlight scalability, reproducibility, and regulatory challenges, bridging laboratory breakthroughs to clinical impact. By supplementing the existing literature, this collection of work offers cutting-edge insights into biofabrication and microphysiological systems, driving the future of precision medicine.
Contributors are invited to engage with this exciting Special Issue exploring the frontiers of microfluidic technologies in biomedical innovation and share their pioneering research findings and reviews to shape the future of 3D cell culture, organ-on-a-chip, and translational medicine.
Dr. Iraj Alipourfard

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.
