This Special Issue aims to gather the latest advances in the design of bioinks/biomaterial inks relying on the wide potential of the biomaterial design and functionalization field. Submitted works in the framework of this Special Issue should encompass both bioink/biomaterial ink design and through characterization as well as their application in 3D bioprinting. We welcome original research and review articles that may contribute to increasing knowledge and discussion on this topic.
