Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Airway disease, both acute and chronic, remains a major healthcare burden and is expected to increase with an aging population. Altering the course of these intractable diseases will require innovative and novel approaches to understand the underlying mechanisms of disease and develop therapeutic alternatives with a realistic path to clinical translation.
This Special Issue of Bioengineering on Stem Cell Approaches for Treatment of Lung and Airway Disease will highlight the application of stem cells in the lung, bringing together contributions from leading experts across the globe. Content will encompass original research and comprehensive reviews focused on the application of stem cells for (1) cell-based therapeutic approaches for attenuation and/or abrogation of disease, (2) ex vivo cell culture systems as platforms for disease modeling and therapeutics, and (3) tissue regeneration for replacement of damaged lung and airway tissue.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
