Dear Colleagues,

Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AD-MSCs), and Stromal vascular Fraction (SVF) in which they are contained, are cell-based therapy strategies to improve tissue regeneration or to repair tissue defects. In particular, Stem Cells (Mesenchymal and Follicular), Biotechnology and Bioactive Molecules (Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Micrografts), and Stromal vascular Fraction may be helpful in this field.

In light of current knowledge on Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), AD-MSCs, epithelial and dermal cells, Human Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HF-MSCs), and Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), numerous researchers have developed different strategies to improve the effects of these varied biotechnology applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect multidisciplinary submissions of original research articles that demonstrate basic research and clinical impacts of autologous and/or allogeneic MSCs, AD-MSCs, and SVFs in tissue repair. Review articles that describe the current state of the art are also welcomed.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• The molecular mechanisms of SVF, AD-MSCs and MSCs during regeneration;

• Therapeutic application of SVF, AD-MSCs and MSCs (allogeneic and autologous) for major diseases and clinical conditions such as regenerative plastic surgery;

• MSCs and engineered MSCs as vehicles for drug delivery.
