Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin regeneration and inflammation are intricately linked processes with significant biochemical implications. The skin serves as a formidable barrier against external threats, and when damaged, it must swiftly and efficiently repair itself to maintain its integrity. This complex regenerative mechanism is orchestrated by a network of biochemical signals.
Inflammation plays a pivotal role in this process. When the skin is injured, immune cells and cytokines are recruited to the site of damage. These mediators stimulate cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis, which are all essential for proper tissue repair. The biochemical cues involved are numerous, including growth factors and eventually shifts in the metabolic state.
Understanding the intricate balance of biochemical signals that modulate skin regeneration will improve the development of therapies that optimize the regenerative response while mitigating excessive inflammation.
The aim of this Special Issue is to summarize and enlarge the knowledge of the biochemical processes involved in skin regeneration in both homeostatic and inflammatory conditions.
Therefore, authors are invited to submit original research and review articles which address the progress and current standing of biochemical processes.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Identification of new aspects of biochemical pathways involved in epithelial cells self-renewal and differentiation;
- Identification of new aspects of biochemical pathways involved in fibroblasts/keratinocytes communication in epithelial regeneration and inflammation;
- Techniques for the analysis and identification of biochemical pathways and networks;
- Transcriptomic, epitranscriptomics, or proteomic analysis of skin regeneration and inflammation.

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.
