Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of 3D printing in biomedical applications is now redefining the frontiers of biomedicine, implants, regeneration, and rehabilitation, enabling the precise and scalable fabrication of complex and functional biological constructs. However, this transformation fundamentally relies on the development of advanced biomaterials, which govern printability, structural fidelity, cellular behavior, and clinical performance. By integrating material design with diverse printing technologies such as SLA, DLP, SLS, and DIW, these biomaterials enable unprecedented control over mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and bioactivity. To embrace the coming new era, this Special Issue highlights state-of-the-art innovations in printable biomaterials, biocompatibility evaluation, fabrication processes, and clinical translation, accelerating the transition from laboratory research to real-world clinical applications.
We welcome the submission of original research and reviews on advanced biomaterials for 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering, including new printable materials like bioinks and filaments, structure design for bio-applications, smart and stimuli-responsive systems, and hybrid/multi-material platforms. Topics include cell–material interactions, bio-fabrication strategies, in situ bioprinting, vascularization, immunomodulation, and scalable manufacturing. Studies on bioprocess optimization, characterization, and translational pathways—from in vitro validation to preclinical and clinical evaluation—are highly encouraged.
By bringing together interdisciplinary efforts from materials science, biomedical studies, engineering and clinical practice, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform to showcase transformative advances and foster collaboration. We invite researchers to contribute their latest work and help shape the future of biomaterial-driven bioprinting and tissue engineering.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
