Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wound healing is a complex, multifactorial process involving cellular, molecular, and systemic interactions that determine clinical outcomes. Recent advances in molecular biology, regenerative medicine, and translational research have significantly expanded our understanding of wound pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between bench and bedside by highlighting cutting-edge discoveries in molecular mechanisms, biomaterials, and innovative interventions that improve wound care. Topics will include cellular signaling pathways, growth factors, stem cell applications, and novel technologies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and bioengineered dressings. By integrating molecular insights with clinical practice, this collection seeks to foster collaboration among researchers and clinicians, ultimately improving patient outcomes in acute and chronic wound management.

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.
