Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Regenerative medicine is a long-standing field of research focused on the repair or regeneration of damaged tissues or organs. It relies on a combination of approaches, including stem-cell therapy, tissue engineering, and cell reprogramming. Due to their ability to extensively proliferate and differentiate into different cell types, stem cells offer a promising strategy for the progress in regenerative medicine, and a platform to conceive new therapeutic tools through a multidisciplinary integration.
This Special Issue aims to be a common ground collecting and integrating the latest advances in the application of stem cells in regenerative medicine. We are interested in a wide range of papers, including novel cell types under investigation for cell therapy and improvements in existing cell availment. It also aims to acquaint the scientific community with tissue-repair processes and homeostasis, with cutting-edge approaches in research and application of stem-cell-based therapies, and with stem cell's interaction with the target macro- and micro-environment.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
