Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone metabolism and bone regeneration are two interconnected processes that are crucial for maintaining healthy bone structure and function.
Bone metabolism is a continuous, dynamic process that maintains the balance between bone formation and bone resorption. It plays a vital role in maintaining bone strength, structural integrity, and mineral homeostasis in the body. The key components of bone metabolism include bone formation and resorption. The balance between these processes ensures the maintenance of healthy bone mass and density. Dysregulation can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis (increased bone resorption) or osteopetrosis (decreased bone resorption).
Bone regeneration is the body's natural process of healing and restoring bone tissue following injury, fracture, or surgery. Bone has a unique ability to regenerate and fully recover its original form and function.
Several processes and factors influence bone metabolism and regeneration, affecting how bones are maintained, repaired, and renewed. These include hormonal regulation, nutritional status, mechanical forces, genetics, aging, medications, environmental and lifestyle factors, and systemic health conditions. Each of these factors plays a significant role in the regulation of bone metabolism and the ability of bones to regenerate, highlighting the complex interplay between internal and external influences on bone health.
This Special Issue aims to improve our understanding of new factors that influence bone metabolism and regeneration and which may also be new factors that can treat disorders of the skeletal system.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
