Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of regenerative medicine, based on restoring, replacing, or reconstructing damaged tissue, is challenging the current treatment paradigm. Regenerative medicine, which includes cell-based therapy and synthetic biology approaches to treat various diseases, holds significant promise but may need further development.
Several key segments are associated with regenerative medicine: blood-based therapies (platelet-rich plasma), stem cell therapy, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. AI and 3D bioprinting are revolutionizing regenerative medicine, while next-generation sequencing and other multi-OMICS technologies are helping us understand stem cell biology better, which will eventually play an important role in developing new directions in stem cell research and treatment. However, ethical considerations, particularly in stem cell research and therapy, remain of great importance.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Emerging Issues in Stem Cell Research and Regenerative Medicine;
- Best Practices in Regenerative Medicine;
- Tissue Engineering and Biomaterials in Regenerative Medicine;
- Exosomal Therapy—A New Frontier in Regenerative Medicine;
- Orthobiologics and Regenerative Medicine;
- Clinical Trials in Regenerative Medicine.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Dragan Primorac

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
