Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enhancing early osseointegration and minimising infection risk of bone implants is predicted to extend their longevity. Finding suitable and pragmatic solutions that appeal to implant manufacturers remains challenging. This Special Issue therefore focuses on the fabrication and biological evaluation of novel implantable technologies that have potential application in bone regenerative medicine. Original articles exploring the functionalisation of existing materials or the development of entirely novel technologies are welcome. Submissions of works reporting on devices that display superior early osseointegration and/or exhibit antibacterial activity are encouraged. However, manuscripts exploring silver-doping and the deliberate elution of bioactive agents from material surfaces will not be considered.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
