Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process, and when it fails to progress correctly, it can lead to chronic, non-healing wounds that represent a significant global healthcare burden. The challenge of chronic wounds, exacerbated by an aging population and rising rates of conditions like diabetes, underscores the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue, "Biomaterials and Nanotechnology for Advanced Wound Dressings", aims to gather cutting-edge research at the intersection of materials, nanotechnology, and regenerative medicine. We will explore how novel biomaterials and nanotechnology-based systems are revolutionizing wound care by developing multifunctional wound dressings and also providing active and smart support for the healing cascade. We invite original research articles and reviews that cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- The design and synthesis of next-generation wound dressings, such as hydrogels, electrospun nanofibers, and foams.
- The application of nanoparticles and nanocomposites for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents in wound dressings (e.g., antimicrobials, growth factors, antioxidants).
- The use of responsive or "smart" biomaterials that sense the wound environment (e.g., pH, temperature) and release drugs on demand.
- Strategies for tissue engineering, including the use of scaffolds for skin regeneration and scarless healing.
- The development of diagnostic and prognostic nanodevices for real-time wound monitoring.
- Preclinical and clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and biocompatibility of these advanced therapeutic systems.
By showcasing the latest advancements in biomaterials and nanotherapeutics, this Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of a rapidly evolving field. We look forward to receiving your contributions and collectively advancing the science of wound healing.

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.
