Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of new generations of nanomaterials and scaffold fabrication techniques, significant strides are being made in bone regeneration, addressing challenges in developing effective treatments for bone-related injuries and diseases. These advancements have the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enhancing bone repair and regeneration processes.
This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research and applications in nanomaterials and scaffold fabrication for bone regeneration. We welcome the submission of papers across various areas of this field, including the following:
- Nanomaterials for Bone Regeneration: Development and characterization of novel bioactive nanomaterials, surface modifications, and coatings for implants to promote osteogenesis and improve biocompatibility;
- Advanced Scaffold Fabrication Techniques: Utilization of innovative methods such as 3D printing, electrospinning, and bioprinting to design and optimize scaffold architectures, enhancing their mechanical properties and structural integrity;
- Functionalization and Enhancement: Integration of growth factors, peptides, and drugs into scaffolds for controlled release, the development of smart scaffolds with responsive properties, and the creation of biodegradable and bioresorbable scaffolds;
- Clinical and Preclinical Studies: Case studies and clinical trials involving the application of nanomaterials and scaffolds, comparative studies of different materials and methods, and long-term monitoring of scaffold performance.
This Special Issue will encourage the submission of recent original research, review articles, and technical papers that explore these innovative techniques and their applications in bone regeneration. We seek to foster collaboration and innovation in this critical area of healthcare.
By showcasing groundbreaking research in nanomaterials and scaffold fabrication, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive resource for current and emerging trends in bone regeneration, with significant implications for both academic knowledge and clinical practice.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
