Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
How can we boost precision or personalized medicine translating patients on chip? How can we increase the predictability of clinical outcomes?
Organ-on-a-chip technology plays a cutting-edge role in increasing the physiological relevance and level of clinical mimicry of smart human-relevant coculture methods with potential enhanced predictive capability of response to foods, radiation, drugs, toxins, and infectious pathogens. Several systems are now available in the market.
This Special Issue will target novel organ-on-a-chip with different biological sample sourcing (e.g., organoids, spheroids, iPS cells, biopsies) and with applications ranging from drug discovery and disease modeling to regenerative medicine.
Reports are welcome focusing on innovations in design and manufacturing (i.e., microfabrication, 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering techniques) or data acquisition (microscopy, spectroscopy, omics-technologies, in-line sensoristics) or data processing (AI-assisted analysis and in silico mathematical models).

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.
