This journal focuses on the biological aspects of hard tissues, including bone and teeth. Research investigates mechanisms of tissue repair, regeneration, and disease, as well as the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Topics include the effects of physical stimuli like light and ultrasound on cellular activity, the role of specific proteins and signaling pathways in tissue homeostasis and pathology, and the analysis of tissue morphology for diagnostic and treatment purposes. The journal also covers biomaterials used in regenerative medicine and dental applications.
