Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Stem cells offer a promising avenue for the repair and regeneration of both acutely and chronically damaged tissues following injury, as well as for the restoration of tissue lost after tumor resection. Their potential applications are broad, ranging from the regeneration of tendons, nerves, and cartilage to skin rejuvenation.

Mesenchymal stem cells, and, in particular, adipose-derived stem cells, can be harvested in high quantities from various tissue sources. However, many aspects regarding their collection, preparation, and clinical use remain unresolved, and further research is needed to optimize their therapeutic potential.

For this Special Issue titled “Adipose-Derived Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration”, we invite authors to submit original research articles or reviews focusing on specific and innovative approaches to tissue repair, especially those highlighting clinical applications.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
