Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on the demand for clinical medicine related to biomaterials, the importance of immunological control, antimicrobial ability, rapid tissue regeneration and anti-inflammatory effects, etc. is growing. The number of novel biomaterials such as medical combination products, that is, hybrid materials made of drugs and biomaterials, are steadily increasing and are life prolonging. On the other hand, although the research into apatite and titanium is developing well, these materials have unfathomable evolutionary potential because they have high reliability as base materials. The key factor for the application of biomaterials is the transaction between biomaterials and tissues. Ultimately, the interfaces of inorganic/organic materials, the essence of biomaterials, and tissues at various scale levels dominate the applications and value of biomaterials. The interfaces are the frontier of biomaterial applications. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes not only in vitro/vivo studies, but also chemistry and material science studies with new points of view for biomaterials and biomedical science, because they provide greater understanding of the interfaces of biomaterials and tissues. This Special Issue also welcomes original articles and reviews of the transaction between inorganic/organic materials in biology, such as hard tissue and calculus studies.

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.
