Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skeletal muscle, as one of the most important organs in the human body, plays a variety of important physiological functions in human beings, such as movement and metabolism. Aging, chronic diseases, drug stimulation, physical trauma, and other factors usually cause skeletal muscle sarcopenia, atrophy, or injury. Severe skeletal muscle damage often impairs the function of skeletal-muscle-specific stem cells, muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), making it difficult to repair skeletal muscle injury and seriously affecting normal physiological activities and quality of life. This has always been a hot topic in the fields of life science and regenerative medicine. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes submissions of research conducted from a wide range of angles, from studies elucidating the roles and developmental mechanisms of MuSCs to those exploring novel methods and strategies such as drug intervention, stem cell therapy, tissue engineering technology, and so on, for effectively promoting skeletal muscle regeneration and repair. We hope that our research will help to promote the regeneration and repair of skeletal muscle injury, maintain the homeostasis of skeletal muscle tissue, and restore the health of skeletal muscle.

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. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
