Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will consider articles that discuss the use of stem cells, stromal cells, or genetically modified cell populations, used alone or in combination with biomaterials to repair cartilage or bone tissue.
In addition, we welcome detailed investigations into the biology of mesenchymal stem/stromal cell populations, strategies to control phenotypes, or methods to amplify cell potential via genetic modification.
The recent clinical and commercial success of gene and cell therapies, such as CAR T-cells, will likely continue to drive shifts in regulatory frameworks designed to fast-track safe and efficacious cell-based therapies.
We hope that contribution to this collection of articles, at this interesting time in biomedical history, will be a positive experience for you and for the regenerative medicine community. If you are in a position to share your research, we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Cell therapy approaches for bone and cartilage regeneration 2.0”.
Dr. M. R. Doran
Guest Editor
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.
