Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit original research and review articles that address the physical principles underpinning regenerative biology to our Special Issue, “Mechanobiology of Regeneration: From Physical Aspects”. Mechanical forces, including tension, compression, shear stress, and substrate stiffness, are key regulators of cellular behavior and tissue regeneration. The focus of this issue is on how these physical cues are sensed, transmitted, and integrated at the cellular and tissue levels to guide repair and remodeling. We welcome contributions that explore the role of biomechanics, the material properties of the extracellular matrix, cytoskeletal responses, and mechanosensitive signaling in the context of regeneration. Studies employing biophysical techniques, modeling, and engineered systems to dissect mechanical contributions to regenerative processes are highly encouraged. Interdisciplinary approaches bridging physics, engineering, and cell biology are particularly relevant. Our goal is to highlight how physical factors contribute to regenerative outcomes and promote a deeper mechanistic understanding to advance regenerative medicine one day at a time.

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. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
