Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exercise, nutrition/diet, obesity, metabolism and ageing are key factors in both biological development, pathogenesis and disease prognosis.
These factors also influence each other, and some of them have similarities. For example, obesity and ageing share common features, including the cellular and molecular pathways involved and the impact they have as risk factors for a wide range of diseases and health problems. Common patterns of ageing and obesity at the molecular and epigenetic levels include mechanisms such as insulin resistance, abnormal liver glucose metabolism and DNA methylation.
In the context of regenerative medicine and related laboratory applications for tissue engineering, exercise, diet, obesity, metabolism and ageing have profound implications that should be explored to elucidate the underlying mechanistic pathways. With such understanding, we will be able to improve/develop new methods for research applications and develop potential tools to optimise some therapeutic approaches used in regenerative medicine.
With this in mind, we welcome submissions to this special issue on how factors related to exercise, diet/nutrition, obesity, metabolism and ageing affect regenerative medicine, including cell development, stem cells, tissue repair and degeneration. The application of such interactions is also an important part of this special issue. In particular, we aim to highlight how knowledge of such interactions can be applied to improve the practice and conditions of tissue bioengineering, as well as therapeutic approaches and implications.

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.
