Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Last few decades, electrospinning techniques have gain tremendous attention in regenerative medicine. Electrospinning technique is a simple, versatile and cost-effectiveness method to produce either aligned or random fibers from few nanometers to micrometers diameters. This method has been used to fabricate not only polymers (natural/synthetic/semisynthetic) but also for composite and ceramic micro-/nanofibers. Based on the characteristics of the produced fibers, they have been utilized for various application including therapeutic delivery and tissue engineering. Recently, the advancement in electrospinning technique has endowed to produced unique fibrous scaffolds for various tissue engineering such as bone, cartilage, muscle, and nerve. Thus, we invite the researcher to communicate the research articles, review papers and communications with broad applications in regenerative medicine.

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.
