Human Current and Future Model Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human models are anticipated to become more and more important not only in the field of basic but also, explicitly, translational research. Most animal models cannot mirror human development, physiology, or pathophysiology in a variety of aspects. Nevertheless, the complexity of an organism is in turn badly mimicked in conventional in vitro models. Based on the rising interest in human co-cultures and three-dimensional model systems, it becomes clear that current and future advanced in vitro human platforms will be considered crucial in the field of human research, including pharmacological and toxicological screenings.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
