Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Niche and Tissue Homeostasis: Applications to Organoids

Dear Colleagues,

Stem cell interactions with differentiated cells, endothelial cells and immune cells are critical in the context of tissue regeneration. Understanding the stem cell niche, as well as cell organisation and migration, is mandatory to the development of new strategies for tissue repair. In this Special Issue, we aim to present studies that use the example of organoids in the modelling of tissue repair. Morever, we aim to present studies on the mode of cell comunication (growth factor release, enzymatic activity, organelle transfer, nanotunelling and modulation of cell metabolism). Finally, we aim to present studies on translational tissue regeneration applications (including in vivo models and clinical trials).

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.
