Advances in the 3D Culture Systems and Organoids for Disease Modeling and Therapeutics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue highlights the recent advances in 3D culture systems and organoids for disease modeling and therapeutic development. These innovative systems provide more physiologically relevant models than traditional 2D cultures, aiding in the breakthroughs in understanding disease processes and creating new therapeutic strategies. We welcome submissions across a broad range of topics, including the use of 3D models and organoids in drug discovery, regenerative medicine, and biomaterials for therapeutic applications. Studies exploring the molecular mechanisms involved in disease progression and treatment responses are also encouraged. Additionally, novel approaches utilizing 3D systems in cancer, immunology, and other fields are welcome. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for interdisciplinary research that advances personalized medicine and therapeutic innovation.

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. 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.
