Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Recently, 3D printer technology has gained enormous attention as a preferred application in many sectors, especially for use in biomedical applications. This technology has been applied in several biomedical fields, including patient-specific implants, complex-shaped organ printing, tissue engineering, disease models for better understanding via modeling and imaging, drug development, and the delivery and printing of surgical devices. In the recent past, bio 3D printing technology has progressed toward the aim of fabricating increasingly complex structures with different tissue components and intrinsic microvasculature. Bio 3D printing permits cells, biomaterials, and bioactive molecules to be placed in a precise manner to create a complex 3D tissue structure for biological and clinical applications. Therefore, it is prerequisite to develop a suitable bio-ink with biocompatibility, biodegradability and printability for clinical applications. Although 3D printing technology has gained much attention for biomedical applications, there are still various significant engineering challenges to overcome, including the construction of complex organs and tissues, microfluidics devices, and organs on chips, as well as a lack of bioinks with biocompatibility and printability. Therefore, we would like to welcome any original research articles contributing to the development of bioink, innovative cutting-edge 3D printing technologies, and their diverse application in biomedical fields. We would also like to invite review articles from global experts working in this area, particularly on the latest technological advances on the use 3D printing in biomedical applications.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
