Special Issue Information
The field of orthopedics is experiencing a transformative shift, driven by the groundbreaking advancements in regenerative medicine. One of the most promising developments in this area is the advent of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their derivatives, including iPSCS-derived differentiated cells or their extracellular vesicles. These innovations are opening new avenues for therapeutic interventions, particularly in musculoskeletal regeneration.
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to exploring these advancements in regenerative medicine within orthopedics. We invite researchers and experts to contribute original research papers and comprehensive reviews on the following topics:
- Generation of iPSCs:Innovations in the production and optimization of iPSCs for therapeutic applications.
- Differentiation of iPSCs and Extracellular Vesicle Production for Musculoskeletal Regeneration:Research focusing on the use of iPSC-derived cells or products to regenerate musculoskeletal tissues, including muscle, cartilage, bone, and tendon.
- iPSC Bioproduction:Advances in the scalable production of high-quality iPSCs, ensuring their functionality and safety for clinical use.
- iPSC-Based Cell Therapies:Development and clinical evaluation of iPSC-derived therapies specifically targeting musculoskeletal disorders.
- iPSC-Based Tissue Engineering:The application of iPSCs in tissue engineering to address musculoskeletal conditions.
All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process by leading experts in the field to ensure the publication of high-quality, impactful research.
We look forward to your contributions to this exciting and rapidly evolving area of regenerative medicine in orthopedics.

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. Cells 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 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.
