Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of organ transplantation has advanced remarkably over the years, offering new hope to countless individuals suffering from end-stage organ failure. However, the severe shortage of donor organs remains a significant barrier to meeting the increasing demand. Bioengineering presents a promising solution by harnessing cutting-edge technologies in order to fabricate functional organs that can be transplanted into patients, eliminating their reliance on traditional organ sources.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the realm of bioengineered organs for transplantation, shedding light on the latest breakthroughs, innovations, and challenges shaping the future of organ replacement. By gathering original research articles, reviews, and case studies, we aim to provide a comprehensive platform to explore advances in bioengineering strategies, cellular and tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, ultimately promoting the development of successful and safe bioengineered organs for clinical translation.
Topics of Interest:
- Novel bioengineering techniques for organ fabrication
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms of organ development and regeneration
- Stem cell-based approaches for organ biofabrication
- Biomaterial design and selection for organ engineering
- Bioreactor systems and 3D tissue culture technologies
- Immunological considerations and strategies for organ transplantation
- Evaluating the functionality and performance of bioengineered organs
- Translational aspects, including preclinical testing and regulatory challenges
- Ethical, social, and legal implications of bioengineered organs

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. 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.
