Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in regenerative and anti-aging medicine are accelerating through cutting-edge technologies like tissue engineering, stem cell therapy, and gene editing. Stem cells, particularly induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are being used to regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Gene editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 enable precise correction of genetic mutations linked to aging and age-related diseases. Extracellular vesicles and secretomes are emerging as promising cell-free therapies to enhance healing and regeneration. Developments in biomaterials, 3D bioprinting, and organoid technology have improved tissue scaffolding and organ repair. Breakthroughs in senolytics, which target and remove senescent cells, offer new strategies to combat aging and chronic inflammation. Ongoing research and clinical trials are crucial to translating these innovations into mainstream medicine. Collectively, these advances are reshaping regenerative and anti-aging strategies, moving closer to extending healthy lifespan and improving overall quality of life.

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.
