Biomaterials for Bone and Cartilage Engineering Application

Dear colleagues，

The aim of this Special Issue on ‘Biomaterials in Bone and Cartilage Engineering Application’ is to fabricate biocompatible scaffolds that facilitate the regenerative capacity of bone and cartilage tissue. Specially designed biomaterials ideally protect wounds against material-induced pyrogen and/or infections, which may cause prolonged inflammation and repair failure. To obtain a bone and cartilage regeneration, ideal and smart biocompatible materials are highly demanded in clinic. ‘Biomaterials in Bone and Cartilage Engineering Application’ will publish original studies on, but not limited to, cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, structural biology, infection and immunity, immunology, signaling, disease mechanisms, therapeutics, and nanotechnology related to the biomaterial and tissue/cell interactions. Papers considered for peer review must contain substantial advances supported by regenerative insights.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
