Special Issue on Bone Diseases and Disorders

Bone diseases and disorders encompass a wide spectrum of conditions that affect skeletal structure, function, and metabolism, including osteoporosis, arthritis, fractures, genetic bone syndromes, and bone cancers. These conditions pose significant challenges to public health due to their high prevalence, chronic nature, and impact on mobility and quality of life. With advances in molecular biology, imaging technologies, biomaterials, and regenerative medicine, new opportunities have emerged for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term management of bone health. This special issue on Bone Diseases and Disorders invites contributions that explore the underlying mechanisms, innovative therapeutic approaches, surgical techniques, and preventive strategies, aiming to foster interdisciplinary research and improve patient outcomes.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Bone Diseases and Disorders. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Biomaterials for bone replacement
• Bone fractures and trauma management
• Bone imaging and diagnostic techniques
• Bone infection and osteomyelitis
• Bone remodeling and repair
• Bone tissue engineering and regeneration
• Bone tumors and malignancies
• Genetic and rare bone disorders
• Metabolic bone diseases
• Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
• Osteoporosis and bone fragility
• Pediatric bone growth disorders
• Pharmacological therapies for bone disorders
• Preventive strategies in bone health
• Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bone disease
• Spinal bone diseases

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Bone Diseases and Disorders” should be selected during your submission.
