Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stem cell-derived cells are at the forefront of regenerative medicine and disease modeling, offering unprecedented insights into human development, tissue repair, and pathological mechanisms. This Special Issue, "Stem Cell-Derived Cells and Bioengineering: Molecular Bases in Regeneration and Disease Research", will bring together advances in stem cell technologies and bioengineering to explore their synergy in health and disease contexts. Contributions will highlight novel methods for deriving specific cell types from stem cells, molecular pathways guiding cell fate decisions, and innovative bioengineering platforms such as organoids and organ-on-chip models for mimicking physiological and pathological conditions. By integrating stem cell biology into bioengineering, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of how these tools are reshaping biomedical research, drug discovery, and the development of personalized therapies.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
