Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the molecular mechanisms by which mechanical forces influence regenerative processes in tissues and organs for our Special Issue entitled “Molecular Insights into Mechanobiology of Regeneration”. The dynamic interplay between mechanical cues and biochemical signaling governs cell behavior, tissue repair, and structural remodeling. Advances in mechanotransduction, cytoskeletal dynamics, extracellular matrix remodeling, and mechanosensitive gene expression are shedding new light on regeneration across diverse biological systems. We welcome submissions focused on molecular signaling pathways, mechanosensors, and the biomechanical modulation of stem cells and progenitor cells in regenerative contexts. Studies employing in vitro, in vivo, or computational models to elucidate the mechanobiological pathways relevant to tissue engineering, fibrosis reversal, and organ repair are encouraged. Contributions that integrate cutting-edge molecular biology tools with biophysical approaches are particularly suitable. This Special Issue aims to provide a deeper molecular understanding of mechanobiology’s role in regeneration and its therapeutic potential in the extension 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.
