Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring the molecular foundations of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It aims to highlight cutting-edge research that investigates the molecular mechanisms driving tissue formation, repair, and integration, with a focus on translating molecular insights into innovative therapeutic strategies. We particularly seek to emphasize emerging strategies that manipulate molecular cues to enhance stem cell behaviour, modulate immune responses, and guide tissue regeneration. By examining these processes at the molecular level, we hope to bridge the gap between fundamental science and translational applications, fostering the development of next-generation regenerative therapies.
We invite researchers from interdisciplinary backgrounds to contribute to this Special Issue and help shape the future of regenerative medicine through molecular innovation. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- The molecular regulation of stem cell differentiation and behaviour;
- Growth factors, cytokines, and signalling pathways in tissue regeneration;
- Gene editing and molecular engineering approaches for regenerative applications;
- Extracellular matrix remodelling and cell–matrix interactions;
- Molecular crosstalk in engineered tissue environments;
- Immunomodulation at the molecular level in regenerative therapies;
- Molecular diagnostics and biomarkers for tissue regeneration outcomes;
- Omics-based approaches (genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) in tissue engineering.

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.
