Novel Insights and Applications of Pluripotent Stem Cells

Dear Colleagues,

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), possess the remarkable ability to differentiate into all cell types of the body. These cells provide unparalleled opportunities for studying early human development, modeling human diseases, screening therapeutic compounds, and advancing regenerative medicine. In recent years, pluripotent stem cell-based technologies have transformed our understanding of human biology and opened new avenues for biomedical applications. 

This Special Issue will highlight novel insights and applications of pluripotent stem cells, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms governing pluripotency and differentiation, disease modeling using PSC-derived cells, biomolecules associated with PSC function, and emerging applications in biotechnology and medicine. We invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews covering areas such as biomolecular pathways in pluripotency, disease modeling, organoid technologies, cell-based therapies, and PSC-based biomolecule discovery. 

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Biomolecules 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.
