This Special Topic Volume comprises selected peer-reviewed papers from the international scientific community on the topic of "Bone and biomaterials for bone tissue engineering". The volume covers some relevant aspects spanning from bone tissue mechanics to scaffolding for bone tissue engineering in terms of microstructure, biological evaluation, fabrication technologies, surface modifications and coatings. The aim of this collection was to provide an interdisciplinary panorama on this emerging and promising biomedical field.Review from Book News Inc.: This volume consists of 10 papers on the topic of bone and biomaterials for bone tissue engineering, ranging from bone tissue mechanics to scaffolding for bone tissue engineering in terms of microstructure, biological evaluation, fabrication technologies, and coatings. Materials scientists, engineers, and medical specialists from Europe and Japan discuss novel biomaterials and cells for bone tissue engineering, such as the biological characteristics of dental stem cells for tissue engineering and bioactive glasses, and innovative characterization techniques for tissue engineering, including the mechanical spectroscopy examination and mechanical characterization of human dentin, 3D microtomography characterization of dental implantology bone substitutes, studies of calcium phosphate based bone cements, and cartilage regeneration and the role of vibrational spectroscopy in future joint arthroplasty.
