Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Having achieved such fruitful results in stem cell research, we now set our sights on another exciting area—macrophage polarization and its applications. As important members of the immune system, macrophages play a key role in regulating inflammatory response, tissue repair, and malignant disease development. We invite you and your colleagues to contribute and share your original results concerning macrophage polarization and its applications.
The polarization of macrophages means that under different environmental stimuli, macrophages can show different functions and characteristics. For example, M1-type macrophages play a leading role in inflammatory response and cytotoxicity, while M2-type macrophages are closely related to anti-inflammatory response and tissue repair, as well as differential polarization and differentiation in malignant tumors. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of macrophage polarization and its role in disease development is critical to developing new therapeutic strategies.
We look forward to receiving articles that concern:
- Studies of the regulatory mechanism and signaling pathway of macrophage polarization;
- The transformation and regulation of macrophage function in different environments; The association of macrophages with inflammatory diseases and their potential therapeutic strategies;
- The role of M1 and M2 macrophages in tissue repair and regeneration;
- Macrophage immunotherapy and its application in tumor therapy.
We encourage submissions of original manuscripts and review articles covering basic to clinical research, including pharmacological interventions to prevent and/or improve disease. Your research results will have the opportunity to be published in our journals, contribute to the advancement and development of the field, and inspire more in-depth research on macrophage polarization.

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.
