Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stem Cells in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering, Repair, and Regeneration is a crucial theme within the broader field of regenerative medicine. Stem cells hold immense potential in revolutionizing the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. They offer a promising avenue for repairing damaged tissues, promoting regeneration, and enhancing overall functional recovery.
The application of stem cells in musculoskeletal tissue engineering is diverse and dynamic. From bone and cartilage to ligaments and tendons, stem cells can be harnessed to differentiate into specific cell types crucial for restoring the integrity and function of various musculoskeletal components. Their ability to modulate inflammation, stimulate angiogenesis, and secrete growth factors further enhances their therapeutic potential. Developing therapies offer innovative approaches to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, such as fractures, osteoarthritis, and muscle injuries.
This special issue, "Stem Cells in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering, Repair, and Regeneration", seeks to explore the latest advancements and breakthroughs in this exciting field. We invite authors to submit original research and comprehensive review articles shedding light on the innovative strategies, methodologies, and applications of stem cells in the context of musculoskeletal tissue engineering, repair, and regeneration. This also includes delving into mechanisms underlying stem cell-mediated tissue repair, novel techniques for stem cell delivery, and the challenges that need to be addressed for successful clinical translation.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to enriching the understanding and fostering progress in this critical area of research.

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.
