Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there has been limited progress in expanding our understanding of osteogenesis, bone repair, and regenerative processes. Bone tissue, a complex mineralized structure, plays a crucial role in various biological activities. Comprising both organic and inorganic components unique to the human body, its regenerative mechanisms involve intricate physiological activities, primarily centered on the interplay between osteogenic and angiogenic events. These interactions drive bone formation and tissue rejuvenation. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), a key player in angiogenesis, stimulates endothelial cell migration and proliferation, indirectly influencing osteogenesis by regulating osteogenic growth factors and engaging in paracrine signaling. Despite extensive research over the past two decades exploring bone defect repair processes and the development of biomaterials to facilitate these activities, there remains a significant gap in our understanding. The purpose of this Special Issue is to spotlight recent or emerging research updates on the biological aspects of osteogenesis, bone repair, and bone tissue regeneration. We welcome a variety of research approaches, including in vitro and in vivo studies, prospective trials, and retrospective cohort analyses, and strongly encourage the submission of review articles.

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. 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.
