Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue, “Nanotechnology in Bone and Cartilage Repair and Regeneration”, is to develop all areas of nanotechnologies to restore, maintain, or improve the function of damaged bone tissue and cartilage.
Over the last decade, nanotechnologies and/or nanomaterials have been highlighted as exhibiting superior cytocompatible, mechanical, electrical, optical, catalytic, and magnetic properties compared to conventional materials. “Nanotechnology in Bone and Cartilage Repair and Regeneration” will publish original studies on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Hierarchical structures and molecular particle networks;
- Self-assemblies and directed assemblies of molecules;
- Nanoparticles and nanocrystals;
- Nanostructured materials and nanocarbons (e.g., carbon dots, graphene, nanotubes, and fullerenes);
- Soft matter (e.g., biomaterials, polymers, aerogels, foams, and granular matter);
- Films, membranes, coatings, surfaces, and interfacial materials;
- Nanoporous and mesoporous materials;
- Inorganic–organic hybrids and nanocomposites;
- Nanoceramics, metals, and alloys.
Papers considered for peer review must contain substantial advances supported by regenerative insights.
Prof. Dr. Wen-Fu Lai

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.
