Bone Regeneration and Repair: Replacing What Has Been Lost through Science

Dear Colleagues,

Bone tissue serves as fundamental support for the human body and is as vital as breathing or the heartbeat. Being a biological structure, it can face various situations that may hinder its proper functioning, resulting from traumatic, surgical or pathological events. Over the years, science has continuously sought ways to regenerate, heal or restore damaged bone tissue due to its importance. A functional skeletal system not only fulfills physiological functions, but also impacts psychological well-being, making topics related to bone regeneration an enduring focus of research.

This Special Issue aims to present the current state-of-the-art and innovative techniques that may one day lead to successful bone tissue regeneration. It will cover various forms of bone regeneration, including those in orthopedics and dentistry. The issue will showcase innovative materials, novel applications of existing products and cutting-edge technologies such as additive manufacturing for scaffold creation. Along these topics, significance of the biological processes involved in bone regeneration will not be overlooked, as they play a vital role in understanding the mechanisms and exploring potential applications. The quest for advancements in bone regeneration will continue to be a prominent area of research and innovation in the coming years, paving the way for significant medical breakthroughs.

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. Cells 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 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.
