Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled 'Hydrogel for Tissue Engineering and Biomedical Therapeutics (2nd Edition)', will provide a platform dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of hydrogels in tissue engineering and biomedical therapeutics. It will highlight the latest trends and breakthroughs in hydrogel research and promote a deeper understanding of their design, fabrication, and use. Hydrogels have shown exceptional promise in mimicking the cellular microenvironment for tissue regeneration and engineering. Their biocompatibility and tunable properties make them ideal candidates for targeted drug delivery, enabling more effective and less invasive therapeutic interventions.
We invite researchers and experts from various disciplines to contribute their insights to this Special Issue. Whether by detailing innovative synthesis methods, advanced characterization techniques, or novel applications, we will provide a comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will serve as a compass to guide the future directions of hydrogel-based research and, ultimately, shape the landscape of tissue engineering and biomedical therapies.

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. Gels 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 2100 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.
