New Trends in Materials for Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the opening of a new Special Issue in Applied Sciences titled "New Trends in Materials for Tissue Engineering".

The importance of tissue engineering field and its possible contributions to society are obvious and well beyond our imagination. Tissue regeneration science has established itself as independent field that has made enormous progress, including the development of several approved commercial products. The tissue engineering field is interdisciplinary, requiring the exploitation of expertise in materials science, polymer science, mechanical engineering, biomaterials, cell biology, nanotechnology, immunology, and physiology. As the field has evolved, different approaches for regulating the regenerative process have been considered. However, despite the many advancements and developments, tissue engineering is still in its infancy. There is a need for novel information to drive the development of economical, accessible, durable, and helpful commercial products. For this Special Issue, we invite scientists from different fields to contribute recent studies that explore the interactions of novel materials such as polymerics, metallics, composites, and ceramics with the physiological environment and how such interactions can assist in tissue regeneration in soft and hard tissues.

The scope of this Special Issue can be summarized (but not limited) by the following topics:

• 3D Bioprinting;
• Preparation and characterization of 3D novel porous scaffolds for tissue engineering;
• Conductive materials promoting tissue engineering;
• Developing decellularized bioscaffolds for tissue engineering;
• Tissue engineering materials’ interactions with immune cells;
• Cell sheets and stem cell cross talk with engineered materials for tissue regeneration;
• Micro- and nano-materials as drug delivery systems for tissue regeneration;
• Modulating the immune system in favor of tissue regeneration by utilizing novel hybrid materials.

We hope you will contribute your high-quality research and we look forward to reading your valuable results.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
