Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tissue or organs damage due to trauma, diseases, or congenital defects is very common in humans.
Due to the low regenerative ability of human organs, tissue and organ regeneration or shortages have been identified as a major public health challenge globally. Currently, organ transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage organ failure.
Therefore, identification of the key factors, pathways, or cells involved in the organ’s regenerative stages would be tremendously helpful to identify novel therapeutics. The goal of organ regeneration is to use bioactive molecules, exogenous therapeutic cells, engineered functional constructs or artificial organs, etc., to repair or replace damaged tissues or whole organs, so the patients can return to a normal life.
The aim of this Special Issue is to assemble original research papers and reviews illustrating the latest molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in small or large organ regeneration, including thymus, thyroid gland, lung, liver, kidney, heart, intestine, blood vessels, central nervous system, skin, ocular tissue, calcified tissue, cartilage, etc. The current advancement in regenerative medicine to replace, accelerate, or support tissue or organ regeneration will also be highlighted.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
