Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can contain DNA, RNA, proteins and metabolic molecules. The administration of (stem) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) promotes tissue repair through the management of different inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling processes in the body. EVs are biological nanoparticles naturally secreted by cells, acting as delivery vehicles for molecular messages. EVs have been reported in tissue repair as mediators of cell proliferation and differentiation. EVs play important roles in promoting in vivo tissue repair by maintaining tissue homeostasis and modulating several physiological pathways. Tissue regeneration by stem cells is driven by the paracrine activity of shedding vesicles and exosomes. EVs from stem cells have shown significant therapeutic potential to repair injured tissues and regulate pathological processes. Tissue repair and regeneration require communication between multiple different cell types including immune cells, fibroblasts and endothelial cells by exosomes.

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.
