Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stem cells are widely known for their high potential for self-renewal and differentiation and their vast range of possible applications in regenerative and translational medicine. Adult stem cells have already proven applicable in numerous cellular therapy protocols; however, the derivation and maintenance of pluripotent cells in domestic species are still challenging. The use of multipotent or pluripotent stem cells and their derivates (extracellular vesicles, recellularized scaffolds, etc.) may enable innovative possibilities in regenerative and reproductive veterinary medicine due to their ability to differentiate into a variety of other cell types or else to produce important signaling factors. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to congregate recent studies on the importance of the use of stem cells in animal reproduction, including possibilities of its use in regenerative protocols or else seeking the correction of infertility with recent advances in the generation of functional gametes in vitro, an essential contribution of stem cells for both the conservation of species in risk of extinction, and also for agricultural and biomedical applications.

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. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
