Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to The Journal of Developmental Biology (JDB) special issue addressing cellular reprogramming and differentiation. Over the last several decades, research has focused on the unique ability of stem cells to self-renew and differentiate towards a variety of cell types. With many basic science and preclinical studies demonstrating the potential capabilities of stem cell-based therapeutics in the clinic, this special edition is interested in bringing together the topics of cellular reprogramming and differentiation to lead to promising outcomes in advancing stem cell usage in basic science, translational medicine, and regenerative medicine.
This special issue welcomes original manuscripts and reviews from collective complementary expertise, spanning the following areas:
- Novel approaches of microfluidic, organoid, and 3D cell culture applications;
- Molecular and epigenetic mechanisms in stem cell (de)differentiation, transdifferentiation, and reprogramming;
- Toxicology, drug discovery, and disease modeling;
- Generation of clinical grade iPSC lines ;
- Analytical development, characterization of the new cell lines and iPSC derived cell products;
- Genetic manipulation in iPSC and iPSC products;
- Stem cells and veterinary regenerative medicine.
We welcome your contributions and look forward to highlighting your work!
In addition, we would like to thank Mrs. Krista M. Symosko Crow’s support and contribution to this Special Issue.

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. Journal of Developmental Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
