Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-healing wounds and skin loss are major healthcare problems around the world costing healthcare systems billions of dollars a year. Recent technologies such as tissue engineering, biomaterial science, and in situ 3D printing have significantly advanced the development of skin tissue mimetics with clinical potential. The tissue-engineered skin models have also been used as tools to develop new therapeutics. Novel therapeutic strategies enabled the development of split or full-thickness skin substitutes to recapitulate the native functional skin.
Furthermore, numerous therapies such as immune cell, stem/progenitor cell therapies, as well as micro RNA- and siRNA-based techniques, and gene editing tools have been investigated to improve wound healing. Recent emerging techniques can reveal the mechanisms of skin regeneration and have immense potential to radically revolutionize the current situation. Future treatments may improve wound healing with reduced pain and contribute to a faster, more affordable, and scarless wound healing.
In this Special Issue, we will publish research on various emerging and state-of-the-art approaches being developed and implemented for accelerating wound healing and skin regeneration.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
