Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The myogenic and cardiomyogenic differentiations of mesenchymal or other types of stem cells in vitro and in vivo are complex processes, which include cell responsiveness to various compounds and model systems, and direct or indirect interaction between cells and extracellular components, that further regulates intracellular signalling systems and tissue functioning. Despite their diversity, the regeneration mechanisms of skeletal and cardiac muscle occur within the striated muscle environment, whose primary goal is in vitro targeted regulation and subsequent in vivo translation, thereby allowing to improve muscle functioning.
In order to better understand the myogenic and cardiomyogenic differentiation processes and their regulation, both in vivo and in vitro myogenic model systems are of crucial importance. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collate papers focusing on in vivo and in vitro myogenic and cardiomyogenic differentiation mechanisms that highlight new external or internal inductors, cell types, ECM components, scaffolds and other biomodulators to improve the regeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscles and expand their 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. 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.
