Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DPSCs (Dental Pulp Stem Cells) maintain a high degree of differentiation, as they are multipotent and pluripotent, as mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cords, bone marrow, or adipose tissue. Therefore, they have the ability to regenerate a wide range of tissues, and their potential for clinical application in regenerative medicine is promising. DPSCs have been found to express low levels of HLA-DR (MHC) class II molecules, making them potential candidates for allogeneic transplantation without compatibility with donor tissue.
The aim and scope of this Special Issue are to better highlight the extensive potentials that these SCs obtained from dental pulp have, unveiling their intrinsic features and possible use in regenerating and repairing damaged tissues. The in vitro and in vivo administration of DPSCs and their derivatives have exhibited beneficial effects in various disease models of different tissues and organs.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
