Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The powerful decoy of regenerative medicine is based on the possibility to engineer cells and tissues of the human body to restore tissue, organs and parts lost to trauma or disease.
The development of novel biomaterials, able to drive the biological role of mesenchymal stem cells during regeneration process, is one of the most important biological fields developed in recent years.
Several works have led to important strides being made in the discovery of the rules of tissue formation, the interactions that occur between mesenchymal stem cells within an organ, the development of innovative biomaterials and the mechanisms underlying the regulation of tissue homeostasis.
Basic research on in vitro and in vivo models, related to tissue regeneration, will definitively contribute to the regenerative medicine field.
We invite you to contribute original articles that describe the regeneration and tissue repair process by means of the use of biomaterials, implant devices, stem cells, exosomes, and drugs in as many models and contexts as possible. Review articles describing our current knowledge on any aspect of regeneration and tissue repair are also welcome.

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.
