Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Prof. Günter Finkenzeller, a brilliant scientist and contributor to innovate profoundly our understanding of tissue engineering, was invited to create a special issue for our journal, but then the editorial office received the sad announcement of his passing, and we have decided to transform this special issue into a commemorative special issue, to commemorate his outstanding contributions in the field of tissue engineering.

Now, we feel obliged and honored to collect a series of papers by his students, friends, and colleagues together in this Special Issue dedicated to Prof. Günter Finkenzeller.

This special issue invites original research articles as well as reviews on recent advances in therapeutic angiogenesis. These advances may include studies based on the use of pro-angiogenic cell types that release growth factors and exosomes and/or vasculogenic cell types such as endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells and multipotent stem cells. In addition, this special issue is also open for other approaches to stimulate angiogenesis and vasculogenesis in organs and tissues, addressing a broad scope and thereby paying tribute to the rich scientific curiosity of Prof. Finkenzeller.
