Recent Approaches for Wound Treatment: 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Wound healing is a complex phenomenon involving several cell types, cytokines, and mediators and many processes (such as inflammation, angiogenesis, and epithelialization). Often, the healing process is compromised by colonization by microorganisms, which can lead to severe infections. Thus, the search for resolutive wound treatments still represents a key issue.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present novel tools for wound treatment. In particular, we will focus on the presentation of innovative devices that can stimulate wound healing by acting on different mechanisms of the healing process. For example, the system could work at the same time on the inflammation process and epithelialization.

We also welcome studies that present non-conventional platforms that electrically stimulate the physiological biochemical pathways involved in the wound healing process.

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 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-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.
