Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regenerative medicine has emerged as a transformative field, offering promising solutions for tissue repair and regeneration across a wide range of conditions, including those resulting from injury, aging, or degenerative diseases.
Stem cells, including Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs), Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), and induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), have shown great potential due to their capacity for multilineage differentiation and their ability to influence the tissue microenvironment through the release of bioactive molecules. These cells and their secretomes—such as cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix components—play crucial roles in modulating cellular behavior and promoting tissue regeneration. In addition to cell-based therapies, there is growing interest in regenerative treatments that rely on the secretome, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), exosomes, and polynucleotides. These treatments harness the regenerative power of bioactive molecules to stimulate tissue regeneration without the need for live cells.
This Special Issue, titled “Stem Cells and Beyond: Innovations in Tissue Repair and Regeneration”, highlights the latest advancements in cell therapies, as well as emerging applications of regenerative treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), exosomes, and polynucleotides, for tissue regeneration.
By exploring novel strategies that combine stem-cell-based therapies with biomolecular signaling, this Special Issue aims to foster new insights into tissue regeneration strategies over a broad array of clinical applications, from wound healing to organ repair and beyond.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Aurora Almadori
Guest Editor
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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
