Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone injury and bone tissue regeneration are regulated by a wide variety of signaling pathways and intracellular networks that are responsible for coordinating the cellular processes of bone formation. Although recent years have seen extensive research on the importance of bone regeneration, the exact mechanism involved in bone formation at different stages of differentiation is still not well understood. The intersection of biomolecular science and materials engineering, emphasizing the development and application of mechanically competent materials, is of significant interest in bone regeneration. Thus, the exploration of the molecular underpinnings and innovations in material science, particularly those integrating clinical and model studies with biomolecular experiments, can reveal the molecular mechanisms of bone formation.
This Special Issue focuses on the recent studies that aim to explore the molecular mechanism and innovations in material science for bone tissue regeneration. Specifically, pure clinical studies are not suitable for this journal; however, submissions that combine clinical insights with molecular-level research are highly encouraged. Studies providing such information are welcomed and will help to elucidate the molecular mechanism of bone injury and bone tissue 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
