Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The regeneration mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscles, despite their similarities and diversities, occur within the environment of muscle tissue and experience various types of intra-, inter- and extracellular changes that can be purposefully regulated and directed to improve striated muscle functioning.
In order to better understand myogenic and cardiomyogenic processes and their regulation in vivo, various myogenic model systems in vitro play an increasingly important role. Muscle-resident and tissue-specific progenitors, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells or their subpopulations, tissue-adapted pluripotent stem cells (embryonic or iPS) and other types of these cells or their co-cultures can be good candidates with which to investigate myogenic regeneration processes in vitro. Finally, extracellular electrical or mechanical stimuli, 3D scaffolds and cultures, hydrogels and various types of biocompounds can also regulate myogenic or cardiomyogenic processes both in vitro and in vivo.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate myogenic and cardiomyogenic processes and to search for cells, external or internal stimuli, ECM components, scaffolds and biomodulators that best affect myogenic processes that could improve the functioning of both skeletal and cardiac muscles and that could have further clinical applications.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
