Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of regenerative medicine, traditional biomaterials can no longer meet clinical needs. Current developments in the field are focused on endowing biomaterials with specific structure and biological functions which can stimulate the specific response of the body, mobilize the self-improvement and rehabilitation function of the human body, and realize the regeneration and reconstruction of human tissues or organs. This discovery of osteoinducion indicates that materials might be endowed with the biofunction of inducing tissue regeneration, and thus are hopeful for realizing the establishment of tissue function through material design.
This Special Issue will focus on the development of bioactive materials for bone regeneration. The Special Issue topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Fabrication methods of bone substitutes;
- Surface modification of bone substitutes;
- Evaluation of chemical and physical properties of bone substitutes;
- Specific effects of biomaterial characteristics on osteogenesis.

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. 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.
