Cell Biology: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

The medicine of the future is personalized, artificially intelligent, safer, and more efficient. Stem cells are among the important players in the development of personalized regenerative medicine. Stem cells (embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and adult stem cells) are isolated from various tissues and organs using diverse protocols that affect their abilities to self-renew and differentiate. An in-depth understanding of the practical aspects of stem cell isolation, in vitro maintenance, and characterization is needed for the development of effective stem-cell-based therapies.

In this Special Issue, our goal is to bring together research and review articles that demonstrate the recent progress in fundamental and applied studies on stem cells.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Opportunities and challenges in using stem cells in vivo and in vitro
• Techniques for the isolation and characterization of human and animal stem cells
• Three-dimensional stem cell culture systems
• Stem cells in disease modeling
• Applications of stem cells and/or their exosomes in medicine (dentistry, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, wound healing, endocrinology, etc.)

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
