Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern treatment methods increasingly use autologous materials, guaranteeing not only repair but also regeneration, i.e., tissue restoration. These tissues, by their structure and function, guarantee proper functions. In dermatology, regenerative procedures are widely used after skin lesion removal, resurfacing, treatment of chronic wounds and ulcers, as well as in scar therapy. The accelerating development of this field of therapy encourages research into its usefulness in various diseases, including chronic dermatological diseases.
The biggest challenges in treating skin diseases with biomaterials are diseases in which the host's own immune system is involved. Both organ-specific antibodies and autoimmune co-morbidities, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, vitiligo, alopecia areata, and pernicious anemia, have been found in people with autoimmune dermatologic diseases. There is also a strong correlation with HLA-DQ7, -DQ8, and -DQ9 antigens with a nucleotide polymorphism at position 55. The HLA-DR12-DQ7 haplotype is associated with disease susceptibility, while the HLA-DR17-DQ2 haplotype may play a protective role. Therefore, the use of proprietary immune-activated factors seems promising.
In this Special Issue for IJMS, we will focus on the molecular applications of biomaterial in skin diseases. We invite original research and review articles. IJMS focuses on molecular studies in biology and chemistry, with a strong emphasis on molecular biology and molecular medicine, and we particularly welcome publications in molecular-level research.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
