Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Achieving success in bone tissue engineering demands a delicate equilibrium among mechanical strength, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bio-inductivity. Consequently, the meticulous selection of appropriate biomaterials and the optimization of engineered matrix properties emerge as pivotal facets within this domain. These new biomaterials may effectively promote bone regeneration and thus have a significant impact on individual patients and healthcare systems. This Special Issue aims to collect contributions from researchers and in the form of comprehensive reviews and research articles on recent advancements in the application and use of various biomaterials in bone tissue engineering.
In this Special Issue, we would like to present an innovative perspective on the scaffolds and implants for bone regeneration, biomechanical properties of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and their importance in the interactions between biomaterials and living tissues, as well as studies on the preparation, performance, and use of biomaterials in biomedical devices in physiological environments. Topics will include, but not be limited to. scaffold design and fabrication; biomaterials for 3D printing, biocompatibility and biodegradability; host response to implants; cell–scaffold interactions; and scaffold-based drug delivery. Both original research articles and reviews are welcome. All papers will be published in an open-access format following a peer-review process.

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.
