Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in methodologies with which to culture stem cells and organoids have resulted in novel systems that can recapitulate key aspects of animal and human tissue biology. These culture systems are more physiologically relevant than 2D culture models, while also providing a reductionist model of in vivo biology in which it is possible to manipulate signaling pathways and perform genome editing. Stem cell and organoid technology is being embraced by researchers globally and is offering novel insights into organogenesis, the pathophysiology of diseases, and regenerative medicine.
This Special Issue aims to promote advances in the stem cell and organoid fields and highlight how researchers are using these reduced systems of complex human biology.
This Special Issue calls for papers that use these systems to bridge the transition between molecular and cellular investigations as they build complexity toward tissue, organ, and whole-organism research. We invite authors to submit their original and review articles on these topics.
Dr. Nicole Prior is a scientist (Topical Advisory Panel of IJMS) and will assist Dr. Meritxell Huch in managing this Special Issue.
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Recent Research in Stem Cells to Organoids”.
Dr. Meritxell Huch
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
