Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Bone Tissue Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Bone tissue engineering is a field in which it is important to study new approaches to promote the regeneration and repair of damaged or diseased bone. Biomechanics and biomaterials are important areas of study within bone tissue engineering.

Biomechanics in bone tissue engineering involve the study of mechanical behaviors and functions of new materials and implants intended for bone regeneration and repair. Understanding the biomechanics is critical for developing effective treatments for bone injuries and diseases.

Biomaterials in bone tissue engineering are materials used to replace or augment bone tissues injured and diseased, through the promotion of growth and regeneration of bone tissue. These materials must be biocompatible and able to withstand the mechanical stresses placed on them within the body.

Researchers in bone tissue engineering use a variety of biomaterials, including metals, ceramics, and polymers, to create scaffolds that can support the growth of new bone tissue. These scaffolds can be designed to promote the regeneration of bone damaged or lost.

In summary, the fields of biomechanics and biomaterials play important roles in bone tissue engineering by providing insights into the mechanical behaviors and functions of new materials and developing new materials for effective treatments for bone injuries and diseases.

This Special Issue of Materials, entitled “Biomechanics and Biomaterials in Bone Tissue Engineering”, will focus on recent progress in biomechanics and biomaterials in bone tissue engineering. Submitted manuscripts may cover all aspects related to biomechanics and biomaterials in bone tissue engineering.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
