Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditional approaches for the restoration of defective craniofacial tissues mainly involve the use of prostheses and tissue grafts; however, these approaches either fail to fully restore the functions or cause damage to otherwise healthy tissues. Therefore, there is a drive to develop new treatment strategies to restore craniofacial defects caused by hereditary defects, diseases, and trauma, with craniofacial regeneration at the center of these efforts. Craniofacial regeneration can be achieved by activating the hidden regenerative potential of damaged tissues or by introducing stem cells to the site of the defect and guiding them to carry out tissue regeneration. The realization of craniofacial regeneration requires cross-disciplinary efforts from both biological sciences and biomaterial and tissue engineering.
In this Special Issue, we aim to showcase the latest advancements in craniofacial stem cell development, bone biology, organoid, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and other research fields that can potentially transform the future of craniofacial regeneration. Reviews and clinical studies on craniofacial regeneration are also welcome.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
