Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone tissue, with its intricate physiology and susceptibility to a wide range of pathologies, remains a critical focus of scientific research. Understanding its mechanisms and disorders is essential for addressing global health challenges, as bone-related diseases, ranging from osteoporosis to rare genetic disorders, affect millions worldwide. This Special Issue highlights fundamental discoveries and clinical practice advancements, publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed articles that explore the molecular, cellular, and biomechanical aspects of bone health and disease. Topics of interest include the etiology and progression of bone disorders, innovative diagnostic tools, the interplay between bone and systemic conditions, and the development of cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, such as regenerative medicine, biomaterials, and pharmacological interventions. Researchers, clinicians, and interdisciplinary teams are invited to contribute original research, reviews, and case studies that advance the field, foster deeper understanding, and drive transformative clinical applications to improve patient outcomes globally.
Dr. Francesca Salamanna
