Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Muscle is a highly specialized and extremely divergent animal tissue. The correct functioning of individual muscle fibers depends on both the internal and external environment and their interactions, providing muscle homeostasis. The impairment of muscle homeostasis leads to numerous and varied disorders, e.g., neuromuscular diseases. Nowadays, the development of novel molecular techniques and tools enables us to better understand the biology of muscle under physiological and pathological conditions.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to collect works concerning the capabilities of the molecular mechanism of muscle formation, homeostasis, and wasting. This Special Issue is particularly interested in the cellular and molecular dynamics involved in determining the fate of muscle progenitor cells, leading to the development of fully functional muscle fibers.
This Special Issue aims to collate a collection of original research and review articles addressing the intriguing aspects of muscle development, homeostasis, and wasting. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide its readers with a description of the deep-data approaches currently applied in the field of muscle research.

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. 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.
