Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to presenting new trends of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) application in musculoskeletal disorders with regard to basic mechanisms and also histopathological, radiological, and clinical implications. Our understanding of PRP and MSC application on microscopic tissue alterations is still insufficient, and it may be the key to gaining knowledge about the complete recovery of musculoskeletal diseases. Likewise, an increasing number of studies have revealed functional improvements after this therapy. However, histopathological and radiological implications are usually deficiently presented. Thus, there is a need for continued progress in PRP and MSC research, validation of PRP and MSC preparation protocols, and correlation with histopathological changes in musculoskeletal pathologies.
Finally, all papers on novel clinical applications of PRP and MSCs, also in combination with other bioactive molecules, in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders are welcome, as are basic science and radiological studies.

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.
