Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During tissue repair and regenerative process, stem cells, growth factors, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) constitute the elements needed for cell growth and differentiation. In ECM research, artificial biomaterials composed of various substances have been researched and developed to reproduce the extracellular microenvironment for induction cell growth and differentiation and tissue formation. Regarding hard tissue repair and regeneration in a clinical setting, highly biocompatible materials such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and titanium as a metal material have been developed and are already used widely. Recently, it has been suggested that not only the composition of the artificial biomaterial but also the optimal geometrical structure is important for inducing cell differentiation and tissue formation.
This Special Issue focuses on several aspects of biological response induced by biomaterials in the tissue repair and regeneration process, such as cell differentiation, tissue development, and tissue regeneration ability, and we invite contributions of reviews and original papers reporting on recent efforts in the field of hard tissue regeneration.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
