Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to present recent advances moving beyond 2D scratch assays toward 3D bio-printed mucosa, organoids/spheroids, microfluidic “mucosa-on-a-chip” systems, and immune/microbiome co-cultures, all of which better reproduce the oral wound microenvironment and are being used to study healing, barrier recovery, inflammation, and host–microbe interactions.
This Special Issue aims:
To review the limitations of conventional in vitro wound healing models and highlight the need for advanced, physiomimetic systems.
To explore new technologies such as 3D bioprinting, organ-on-a-chip platforms, and microfluidics in replicating the complexity of wound healing.
To assess the role of advanced biomaterials and stem-cell-derived systems in creating dynamic and regenerative in vitro environments.
To examine the integration of omics and computational approaches for predictive and personalized wound healing studies.
To outline future perspectives in bridging the gap between in vitro models and clinical application, aiming to accelerate translational wound healing research.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
