Therapeutic Strategies via Skeletal and Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Cranial and Dental Fields

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue, “Advanced Therapeutic Strategies via Oral Mesenchymal Stem Cells”.

Recent advanced technology in oral biology provides several options for therapeutic strategies, and the application of stem cells is one of the most powerful tools. Oral and dental mesenchymal stem cells have been thoroughly studied for decades in order to utilize them for cell therapies. However, there is still a huge gap between our ideal situation and the current reality of the field. The only way to better activate and establish this field is to continue studying stem cells combined with biomaterials and the concept of tissue engineering. The collaboration between industry and academia will also greatly strengthen our research productivity.

This second Special Issue will once again welcome exciting research and review articles to promote therapeutic strategies using oral mesenchymal stem cells.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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