Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone is a connective tissue that provides structural integrity to the human body, supports movement, and protects vital organs. Orthopaedic tissue engineering (OTE) uses a combination of cells, chemical and mechanical cues, and biomaterials to address clinical challenges such as non-union fractures; spinal fusion; and extensive bone defects due to trauma, diseases, or surgery.
Novel bioceramics, biopolymers, hydrogels, and composites have been developed and fabricated into complex orthopaedic scaffolds using a variety of techniques, including 3D bioprinting and cryogelation.
Over the years, numerous differentiation protocols for cell types such as MSCs and iPSCs have been investigated. These protocols often combine the use of growth factors and bioreactors.
To create functional bone tissue and enhance the success of its clinical outcomes, forming new vasculature and controlling the body’s immune response are of great importance. Furthermore, in situ tissue repair will aid in promoting personalised tissue regeneration strategies.
We welcome contributions to this Special Issue focusing on, but not limited to, the following:
- Biomaterials and scaffolds for orthopaedic tissue regeneration;
- Stem cells and cell therapy strategies;
- Guided bone regeneration;
- Angiogenesis for orthopaedic tissue regeneration;
- Immunomodulation for bone regeneration;
- Osseointegration;
- Mechanical and chemical cues promoting bone 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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
