Biofabrication Technologies for Tissue Repair and Regeneration

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent breakthroughs in biofabrication are transforming the field of tissue repair and regeneration through the creation of biomimetic constructs that replicate the complexity of native tissue. Advanced techniques—particularly 3D bioprinting, alongside unidirectional freeze-drying, electrospinning, and two-photon lithography—now enable precise control over cell placement, matrix composition, and bioactive cues, producing architectures with tailored mechanical, biochemical, and electrical properties.

The integration of stimuli-responsive nanomaterials, including piezoelectric, plasmonic, and magneto-responsive systems, adds dynamic functionality, converting external stimuli into biochemical signals that regulate cell behavior, modulate inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration. This synergy between high-resolution bioprinting and smart nanomaterials is paving the way for adaptive scaffolds capable of on-demand drug delivery, mechanical actuation, and localized bioelectrical stimulation.

This Topic aims to collate cutting-edge research at the intersection of additive manufacturing and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, highlighting the next generation of active, patient-specific constructs poised to redefine regenerative medicine.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
