Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cells, with a diameter of about 30–150 nm, containing cell-specific proteins, lipids, and small molecules of nucleic acids, such as miRNA, mRNA, and lncRNA.
In recent years, exosome-mediated intercellular communication has gained extensive attention in the development of human diseases. Many studies confirmed that exosomes have cardioprotective functions similar to stem cells, which can promote angiogenesis, reduce apoptosis, and minimize the damage caused by stress. Exosomes can also be used as drug carriers to treat diseases. Here, we are focus on the role of exosomes in stem cell-based bone regeneration, heart disease, and tumor development.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
