New Treatments and Current Advances in Wound Healing: Cellular Mechanisms and Pathological Outcomes

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic non-healing wounds are a major public health challenge. Chronic wounds are characterized by prolonged inflammation, defective re-epithelialization, and altered skin remodeling. Difficult-to-heal wounds persist in a self-perpetuating inflammatory state and remain unresponsive to adequate wound management. New therapies for chronic wounds have led to the improvement of lesion management and the quality of care. The study of wound healing pathophysiology and the development of new tools for precocious and effective intervention in the healing process may represent a useful strategy to optimize the efficacy of the treatment of these lesions. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to report new treatments and current advances in wound healing, considering cellular mechanisms and pathological outcomes. The scientific contributions on these topics may be submitted in the form of original articles or reviews. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts. Topics of interest for this Special Issue, entitled New Treatments and Current Advances in Wound Healing: Cellular Mechanisms and Pathological Outcomes, include, but are not limited to, the following: tissue engineering, drug delivery, photobiomodulation, new dressings, stem cell therapy and 3D printed skin.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
