Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, research on the fabrication and application of living tissues and organs has been widely conducted using 3D culture (three-dimensional culture) techniques. For example, materials such as ECM (extracellular matrix) and synthetic polymers can be microfabricated to provide a favorable environment and scaffold for individual cells. In other words, a culture environment similar to a living organism (in vivo) can be reconstructed in vitro and created using MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) technology. In addition, it has been possible to induce pluripotent cells (ES cells and iPS cells) and tissue stem cells into target 3D models (brain, liver, skin, bone, cornea, cartilage, cancer, etc.) by improving culture methods and conditions. The obtained tissues and organs are expected to be applied in many fields of biomedicine, regenerative therapy, and drug discovery. Here, we call for reports on 'Applications of 3D Cell Culture in Biomedicines' in various fields of biomedicines. Examples of topics of interest include:
- 3D cultures (culture technology, biomaterials, culture device, culture device design, simulation, etc.).
- 3D tissue and organs (biomedicine, regenerative therapy, and drug discovery, in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo).
Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to publish high-quality articles, including original research and reviews.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
