Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A coordinated sequence of cellular and molecular activities is required for the complicated and dynamic process of wound healing in order to restore tissue integrity. At the molecular level, numerous signaling molecules, including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, coordinate the interactions between different cell types, including immune cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells. Important processes like angiogenesis, cell migration, proliferation, and extracellular matrix deposition are all regulated by this complex interaction. Developing cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, such as regenerative medicine and bioengineered skin substitutes, requires an understanding of the cellular and molecular principles underlying wound healing.
Thus, we extend this invitation for you to submit a review or your original research findings to our Special Issue, titled "Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Wound Repair".
Dr. Elia Ranzato
Guest Editor
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. 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.
