Cellular and Molecular Basis of Wound Healing

Dear colleagues,

Wound healing is a common biological process across all multicellular organisms, which is critical for survival, as it restores tissue integrity.

Wound healing encompasses the spatial and temporal participation of several cells and tissue processes, orchestrating cellular responses supporting inflammation, matrix remodeling, proliferation, and angiogenesis.

Recent developments in wound repair and regeneration mechanisms, as well as innovative methodologies aiming to heal chronic/acute wounds and reduce scar formation, make this the appropriate time for a Special Issue which highlights the cellular and molecular events involved in wound healing mechanisms.

This Special Issue presents cutting-edge research in the fields of experimental cellular and molecular biology (in vitro and in vivo studies) of tissue regeneration and wound healing, as well as mechanisms underpinning wound healing failure.

Studies carried out on wound models reconsidering the roles of growth factors, cytokines, and stem cells will also be considered.

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 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
