Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone regeneration remains a central challenge in modern biomedical science, driven by the increasing incidence of trauma, degenerative diseases, and aging-related bone defects worldwide. The demand for effective, predictable, and biologically compatible solutions has stimulated rapid advancements in biomaterials, ranging from natural grafts to synthetic and bioengineered constructs. Recent developments in material science, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine have initiated new opportunities to enhance osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, and overall clinical outcomes. However, challenges persist in achieving optimal integration, vascularization, and long-term stability, highlighting the need for continued interdisciplinary research.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate recent advances related to biomedical materials for bone regeneration. We will consider contributions that address the design, characterization, and clinical application of innovative biomaterials, as well as studies that explore their biological interactions and regenerative potential.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development and characterization of novel biomaterials for bone regeneration;
- Biological responses and mechanisms of biomaterial integration;
- Tissue engineering approaches and scaffold design;
- Clinical and preclinical evaluation of bone substitutes;
- Advanced imaging and analytical techniques in bone 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 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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
