Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, ‘Advances in Osteogenesis’. Alterations in bone formation activity lead to the onset of several bone diseases characterized by increased or reduced bone mass. Unbalanced bone formation can be, in some cases, lethal.
Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms controlling the osteogenesis process is important to dissect the pathways involved in bone formation and to identify new therapeutic approaches for rare bone diseases. Moreover, osteogenesis is essential for bone healing or fracture healing; thus, in this field, the scientific community aims to use 3D bioprinting technology for the reconstruction of bone segments by printing bone surfaces and cells, including mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect reports on the new mechanisms and pathways involved in bone formation that could be important for the identification of new therapeutic approaches for patients with fractures or altered bone mass. Original research, reviews, opinion papers, or short communications are all welcome.
Dr. Andrea Del Fattore
Guest Editor
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.
