Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The regeneration of hard and soft tissues aided by biomaterials is of great clinical relevance. A variety of biomaterials for both soft and hard tissue indications are already available as well as a large number of adaptations that are continually being developed. Moreover, radically new and smart materials as well as manufacturing methods are in the focus of biomaterial research. Altogether, these biomaterials are engineered to be bioactive or bioresorbable, whilst also promoting tissue regeneration to the state of a restitutio ad integrum. For both the analysis of scientific issues that are still unsolved and for the evaluation of the biocompatibility of biomaterials, preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as clinical investigations are mandatory.
In this special issue, we would like to present new insights into the underlying cellular and molecular interactions of biomaterials for hard and soft tissue regeneration. Particularly, this special issue seeks for studies describing radically new and smart materials, innovative material processing techniques as well as interactions of materials of both classes with the immune system and relations of immune responses to biomaterials with healing processes. Thus, contributions (reviews and/or original papers) on new biomaterials for hard and soft tissue regeneration and cellular or molecular interactions with biomaterials are welcome.

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.
