Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in genomics and proteomics have significantly enhanced our understanding of stem cell biology, offering insights into their fundamental properties and potential therapeutic applications.
Genomics involves the comprehensive analysis of an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. In stem cell research, genomics has been instrumental in identifying pluripotency markers, understanding differentiation pathways, and ensuring genomic integrity.
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, which are vital to understanding cellular functions. In the context of stem cells, proteomics has facilitated the elucidation of differentiation mechanisms, the identification of post-translational modifications (PTMs), and the development of diagnostic tools.
The convergence of genomics and proteomics in stem cell research has deepened our understanding of stem cell biology, improved the development of differentiation protocols, and enhanced the safety and efficacy of stem cell-based therapies.
Therefore, this Special Issue will summarize the latest genomic and proteomic findings involved in stem cells, both in maintenance and differentiation. The use of genomic and proteomic biomarkers as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of intractable diseases will also be addressed.
I look forward to your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Bonghee Lee
Guest Editor
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.
