Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The clinical need to replace wounded, damaged or pathological tissues and organs has fostered the development of tissue engineering and cellular therapies. Innovative research on biomaterials, extracellular matrix and cells has resulted in tissue substitutes or cell products that are designed to improve, repair or replace several tissues and organs. This Special Issue will gather studies on the recent advances in this area. It will feature research that reports such progress, including fundamental studies on reconstructed tissues in vitro or translational studies and pre-clinical testing in vivo.
Prof. Dr. Lucie Germain
Guest Editor
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.
