Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The osseous tissue is the main constructive entity of the skeleton, which provides support and protection for other tissues and organs, assists movement, and functions as a site for blood cell formation and mineral storage. It is a living tissue that responds to various intrinsic and extrinsic factors and specific demands by dynamic remodeling. Accumulation of knowledge on bone biology is essential for a better understanding of the normal functioning and pathological processes in this specific mineralized connective tissue. The research area of this Special Issue encompasses osteology and bone development and physiology. It includes, but is not limited to, studies on bone formation and growth, bone structure, functioning, morphology, composition, remodeling, variations, and diseases on different levels of organization (cells, bone tissue, bones, and skeleton).
We look forward to your contributions.
