Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The restoration of damaged or diseased tissues through regenerative medicine holds significant potential across a wide range of clinical applications. While major strides have been made in cell-based therapies, biomaterials, and tissue engineering, a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms that orchestrate tissue regeneration and repair remains critical to advancing safe and effective therapies. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences invites original research articles and reviews focused on elucidating the molecular and cellular pathways that underline regenerative processes in mammalian systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: stem cells and signaling, immune modulation in repair, extracellular matrix remodeling, mechanotransduction, epigenetic reprogramming, and the role of growth factors, gene regulation, gene editing, or extracellular vesicles in regeneration.
By bringing together high-impact research at the interface of molecular biology and regenerative medicine, this Special Issue aims to foster deeper mechanistic insights that will inform next-generation therapeutic strategies for tissue restoration and functional recovery.
Dr. Christopher Robinson

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
