Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Burn and wound healing is a complex process orchestrated by intricate molecular cascades. Despite significant progress in clinical management, the complete molecular landscape of burn and wound healing still needs to be fully elucidated. This Special Issue will gather cutting-edge research exploring novel molecular mechanisms underlying burn and wound healing, ranging from the initial inflammatory response to tissue regeneration and scar formation. We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that delve into the molecular aspects of cell signaling, growth factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and immune responses involved in these processes.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in molecular research on burn and wound healing. This collection will not only enrich our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms driving tissue repair but also potentially uncover novel therapeutic targets for improving clinical outcomes in patients with burns and wounds. We encourage contributions from diverse disciplines, including cell biology, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, and regenerative medicine, in relation to their clinical applications.
By highlighting the latest discoveries in this field, this Special Issue will foster collaboration and inspire further research to ultimately translate molecular insights into improved clinical strategies for burn and 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 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.
