Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of a new generation of biomaterials and manufacturing techniques, it is possible to overcome the challenges associated with the development of drugs, drug delivery systems, and medical devices and personalized medicine. With the advent of new technologies, such as 3D printing, hospitals are able to utilize these techniques for a variety of purposes. Moreover, 3D printing can be used to produce customized medical devices or devices adapted to the individual patient's needs. This Special Issue highlights the publication of papers on various areas of research, including drug delivery using bioinks, medical devices such as vascular grafts, durable implants, surgical meshes, microneedles, wound healing, and hemostatic agents using additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing, 4D printing, and bioprinting).
This Special Issue aims to encourage the submission of recent original research articles and reviews on the fabrication of novel DDSs and medical devices using innovative 3D printing technologies, as well as bioprinting applications for pharmaceuticals and tissue engineering (e.g., wound healing).
