Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary, rapidly evolving field incorporating the principles of fundamental bioengineering and basic biomaterial science to create biological substitutes of native tissues to be of help in the clinical and health applied sciences. Tissue engineering would be solving problems related to human health by growing or assisting in the regeneration of tissues and organs in a collaborative effort.
Despite the tremendous advances in the use of biologically derived scaffolds for several decades, the actual tendency to develop synthetically derived scaffolds is reasonable from clinical, regulatory, and research perspectives. There are many challenges and opportunities ahead in tissue engineering.
The excitement of tissue engineering lies in the challenge of imitating nature, and in the opportunity to witness the outcomes of a discovery or invention, because the interval between conception and clinical realization of a new device or treatment is, in our time, telescoped.
This Special Issue aims to incorporate a summary of up-to-date articles to provide a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances and challenges in tissue engineering.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
