Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
3D bioprinting has emerged as a developing opportunity to biofabricate viable and functional tissues for preclinical and clinical applications. 3D bioprinting comprises a diversity of approaches, including extrusion-, ink-jet- and stereolithography-based printing platforms, to name a few. Despite its scalability, reproducibility, and precision in locating cells according to a desired geometry, a major challenge with bioprinting tissues remains the recapitulation of a robust functional vascular network, necessary for the transportation of nutrients and oxygen throughout engineered constructs, as well as the elimination of cellular waste and CO2.
This Special Issue covers recent developments in vascular tissue engineering and related key features of 3D-bioprinting platforms, with a particular focus on technical requirements for the recapitulation of native vasculature. It includes advanced methods and biomaterials for vascularizing bioinks, together with perspectives on the optimal use of vascularized 3D bioprinted tissues for disease modeling, high-throughput screening of drugs, tissue replacement therapy and medical device development.

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.
