Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vertebrates have evolved to survive through the formation of mineralized tissues. Bone and teeth are two essential hard tissues structurally and functionally connected to other soft tissues.
Mineralized tissue diseases can divide into three categories. First, bone growth abnormalities such as growth plate-dependent dwarfism or gigantism. Second, abnormal biomineralization diseases such as osteomalacia, vascular calcification, and osteoarthritis, and finally, bone remodeling diseases such as osteoporosis.
In this special issue, we summarize recent state-of-the-art research that can explain the molecular pathophysiology related to these three diseases.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
