Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the clinical application of implants relates to two main areas: orthopaedics and dentistry. For obvious reasons, there are differences between implants from these areas; however, at the same time, there are some common issues. One of the most important is the osseointegration of implants, which affects their durability and functionality. Research is still underway as regards obtaining biomaterials and new design solutions, increasing the adaptation of implants and extending their durability. In this respect, achievements in the field of tissue engineering, including in terms of applications artificial products, such as scaffolds or part of organs, are important to improve the treatment of severe mechanical damages or diseases by providing a functional structure that replaces the affected tissue. Today, a noticeable increase in interest in developing scaffolds can be observed, which proves the need for more comprehensive research in order to enhance the functionality of these structures. That is the reason current studies are focusing on designing appropriate porosity, pore geometry, degradation time or overall scaffold architecture with adjusted manufacturing procedures. These studies are conducted with the use of analytical, numerical or experimental methods in which researchers often consider the use of bioreactors to provide an appropriate environment for studying cells’ behaviour in structures under development. Appropriately designed scaffolds must meet all necessary requirements related to all mechanobiological factors, which complicates the design process.
The authors are encouraged to provide studies including (but not limited to) the following topics:
- dental implants;
- orthopaedic implants;
- implants in veterinary;
- osseointegration;
- biomaterials used for implant;
- biotribology of implants;
- bone regeneration;
- scaffolds manufacturing procedures development;
- functionality of materials designated for scaffolds;
- analyses of the functionality of proposed scaffolds geometries;
- cells’ behaviour under mechanobiological stimulation of scaffolds;
- implanted active medical devices.
Related topics will be also taken into consideration.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
