Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge developments that bridge the gap between fundamental cell biology discoveries of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their technical application. We welcome contributions that showcase technical breakthroughs, such as innovative approaches for EV isolation, purification, characterization, and in vivo imaging or tracking.
Submissions addressing translational progress are particularly encouraged, including studies on EV-based diagnostic platforms, therapeutic delivery systems, and outcomes from clinical or preclinical trials. We also seek forward-looking perspectives discussing technical challenges that must be addressed for advancing EV research, such as standardization of EV isolation protocols, optimization of in vitro EV production systems, or refinement of tools for studying EV-cell interactions.
By integrating technological innovation with cell biology insight, this Special Issue intends to inspire a new phase of EV translating research—one that deepens understanding of EV biological functions and lays a solid technical foundation for future research and application.

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.
