Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many investigators have studied various stem-cell therapy techniques for diseases that are difficult to treat with drugs. Therefore, many in vitro and pre-clinical studies as well as clinical studies are under way to clarify their efficiency and regenerative effects.
Various bioreactors and devices have been developed to improve cell differentiation and activity,
such as the electromagnetic field, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, mechanical stimulation, the light-emitting diode (LED), and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Furthermore, these devices have been developed into physical therapy devices and have been applied in vivo as well as in vitro.
Therefore, for this Special Issue, entitled ”Cellular Mechanisms of Physical Stimulation”, we would like to invite relevant studies on the mechanisms of promoting cell differentiation or activity and maximizing the therapeutic efficiency of cells injected into the in vivo environment through combining physical stimulation techniques and various cell therapy technologies.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
-Cellular mechanisms of physical stimulation for activation or differentiation;
-Cellular mechanisms of physical stimulation for wound healing;
-Immune cell mechanisms of physical stimulation for immune disease or cancer therapy;
-Synergistic effects of cell and physical stimulation for regeneration.
We hope you find this an exciting and unique opportunity to contribute to this research area by publishing in Biomedicines.
Prof. Dr. Young-Kwon Seo

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
