Microfluidic Tissue Culture Platforms

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, microfluidic technology has revolutionized the field of cell and tissue culture, offering unprecedented opportunities for the study of cell behavior, tissue function, and disease mechanisms. Microfluidic tissue culture platforms provide a unique environment that can closely mimic the in vivo microenvironment, allowing for more accurate and physiologically relevant modeling of biological processes. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and applications of microfluidic tissue culture platforms in various fields, including regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and cancer research.

We invite contributions from diverse fields including the following:

1. The design and fabrication of microfluidic devices for tissue cultures，
2. The integration of multiple cell types and biomaterials to recreate complex tissue structures，
3. The use of microfluidic platforms for studying cell-cell interactions, drug responses, and disease modeling，
4. Exploring new techniques and technologies that enhance the functionality and versatility of microfluidic tissue culture platforms, such as the incorporation of sensors, actuators, and imaging modalities for real-time monitoring and analysis.

Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of microfluidic tissue culture platforms and their impact on advancing biological research and therapeutic applications. We welcome researchers to contribute their original research, reviews, and perspectives to this Special Issue to drive innovation and development in the field of microfluidic tissue cultures.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
