Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to present articles that investigate cellular, molecular, and circuit mechanisms relevant to human health. Papers should address novel aspects of stem cell biology, regenerative biology, host-bacterial, interactions, and the toolkit of cell signaling: messengers, channels, and receptors. A comparative approach based on additional model systems such as Hydra and/or other cnidarian species is recommended.
