Multidisciplinary Insights on Bone Healing (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

At the basis of the bone healing process there is a sophisticated multifactorial “system” composed of both macro- and microscopic agents that interact each other in order to obtain the recovery of correct morphological and functional features. Bone tissue-specific agents and extra-bone factors can influence the final outcome at several levels; all of them are characterized by complex and multidisciplinary perspectives that have raised many questions that have yet to be fully elucidated. The development of new technologies has improved the methodology to evaluate the findings. The consequence has been the raising of the curtain on this fascinating topic, which must be looked at from different angles in order to be correctly framed.

Basic research with a translational approach concerning the bone healing process is a growing field of study. Interdisciplinarity between pre-clinical (e.g., the interaction of tissue and biophysical energy), medical (e.g., innovative pharmacological protocols) and surgical specialties, as well as regenerative medicine strategies, may result in a common enrichment in terms of the knowledge of bone healing processes and a perspective in applying these notions for the safety of patients. We hope that researchers with different areas of expertise will consider contributing to this Special Issue.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
