Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on "Stem Cell Applications in Human Health and Disease" explores the innovative use of stem cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) to advance regenerative medicine. Key topics include the use of pluripotent stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, making them crucial for tissue engineering and the development of new therapies. Gene editing technologies are discussed as tools to enhance the therapeutic potential of these stem cells, allowing for precise modifications that improve their efficacy and safety. The therapeutic potential of stem cells and EVs extends to numerous clinical applications, particularly in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, wound ahealing, ischemic diseases, etc. These applications also include disease modeling, which helps with understanding the pathologies of various conditions and testing new treatments. The integration of stem cells and EVs into regenerative medicine is intended to repair and regenerate damaged tissues, offering promising solutions for a wide range of diseases and injuries. This Special Issue underscores the importance of conducting ongoing research to optimize these technologies and translate them into effective clinical treatments.
Overall, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of how research on stem cells and their EVs can revolutionize healthcare by offering new treatments for previously untreatable diseases, underscoring both its immense promise and ongoing challenges in clinical translation.

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.
