Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue plans to provide an overview of the most recent advances in the field of cell rejuvenation.
Cell rejuvenation, a vital process in human health, involves the restoration of cellular functions and vitality. In healthy individuals cells naturally undergo rejuvenation, replacing damaged components and maintaining optimal function in tissue and organs; however, this process can become compromised due to factors such as aging and environmental stressors.
Cell rejuvenation is crucial for various aspects of health, including tissue repair, immune system function, and overall vitality. Stem cells play a pivotal role in this process, as they possess the unique ability to multiply by dividing themselves and differentiating into various cell types, replacing damaged or dying cells. As we age the efficiency of cell rejuvenation often declines, contributing to the onset of age‐related diseases and a decline in overall health.
Understanding the intricate mechanisms behind cell rejuvenation is crucial for developing strategies to promote healthier aging and combat various diseases. As research in this field continues to evolve, it holds the promise of extending the human lifespan and improving the quality of life for people around the world. This Special Issue will cover areas within the rejuvenation of cells in human health and in disease.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Rejuvenation to increase human life expectancy.
- Rejuvenation to restore damage after tissue injuries.
- Rejuvenation to cure or alleviate diseases, such as the following:
- Urethra strictures;
- Cartilage joint disease, like osteoarthritis;
- Cancer—to target and restore proper cell rejuvenation pathways to combat cancer and other degenerative diseases.

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.
