Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the demand for innovative scaffolds/biomaterials/gels based on biocompatible polymers is increasingly widespread.
In fact, the relative applications are countless, from wound healing, to anti-inflammatory activity, to the intriguing tissue regeneration.
The aim of this special issue is to share with the scientific community novel biocompatible polymer composites with potential application at the cellular and/or biochemical level.
Original research articles and mini- and complete reviews are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The design and preparation of scaffolds/gels/hydrogel based on modified or unmodified polymers;
- The development of Biocompatible Polymer Composites with application in wound healing;
- Biocompatible Polymer Composites with potential anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects;
- New strategies for producing polymers composite with the aim to implant mesenchymal cells and application in regenerative medicine.

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.
