Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing of Biomaterials permitted to make huge progress in the treatment of different diseases and clinical problems, as well as to consistently improve the functions and the quality of life of a large amount of patients.
We can’t imagine how can we treat a patient affected by hip or knee osteoarthritis at an advanced stage without using joint replacement systems made of biomaterials. The same is true for dental implants and for ENT/maxillofacial surgery.
The interactions between bone and biomaterials are very interesting in terms of bone reaction to different materials to create an optimal and durable osteointegration so as to avoid complications during movement and/or loading.
Today, we have a variety of biomaterials for bone implants, with or without “biological” coating, for different clinical uses, such as interbody spinal implants, hip/knee/ankle/shoulder replacement, dental implants, maxillofacial implants, and so on.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers on experimental and clinical aspects of interaction between bone and biomaterials, such as engineering and biophysical methods for new materials, new clinical applications, and enhancing osteointegration.

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. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
