Dear Colleagues:
Advanced bioprinting, complemented by biomaterials and cell/stem cell technology, holds significant promise in crafting highly adaptable tissue analogues to address critical challenges in tissue engineering and disease modeling. This special issue aims to compile original and review articles of superior quality, showcasing cutting-edge engineering technologies, artificial constructs, and devices for a wide range of applications in regenerative medicine, disease modeling, drug screening, and exploration of fundamental inquiries in the field of biomedical engineering. Topics span 3D bioprinting, specialized biomaterials and bioinks for bioprinting, design and fabrication of tissue scaffolds for regenerative medicine, devices and bioreactors for disease modeling and drug screening, as well as engineering approaches for bioprinted construct imaging, assessment, and quantification.
