Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical materials are widely used in medical and/or dental reconstructive procedures. The regenerative potential of these materials, including bone substitute materials, collagen matrices, polymers, composites, biological and biomimetics materials, as well as titanium alloys (such as implants), could be improved by bioengineering and biotechnology methods.
This Special Issue will address the most recent advances in tissue engineering and biomaterials science, including prevascularization, biologization, and fabrication technologies; additive manufacturing; surface modifications; antimicrobial properties; and models for implant manufacturing at the macro-, micro-, and nanoscale. Special emphasis will be paid to the analysis of the underlying cell-cell interactions, physicochemical signals, and surface-host interactions.
In this Special Issue of Materials, original papers and reviews, as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies, are warmly welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Bioactive modifications;
- Immune response of the host;
- 3D printing/additive manufacturing;
- Homeostasis/wound healing;
- Finite element/numerical analyses of physical surface modification.

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.
