Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wound healing is an intricate process that involves interactions between various types of cells and molecular mechanisms. When wounds fail to heal effectively or develop into chronic wounds, they can cause significant pain and discomfort to patients and impose a heavy burden on society. The development of innovative treatment approaches can effectively facilitate the wound healing process, improve patient well-being, and reduce societal burden. The progress of nanotechnology in the field of biomedical science has brought about vast prospects in the field of wound healing applications. Nanomaterials are revolutionizing wound healing by leveraging unique properties like high surface–area ratios and tunable functionalities. They mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) and deliver bioactive agents precisely while providing mechanical support and moisture retention. Stimuli-responsive nanomaterials enable controlled drug release based on wound conditions like pH or temperature. Smart nanomaterials can also monitor wound parameters in real time, enabling "intelligent" dressings. Although existing studies have made some progress, further research is warranted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms by which nanomaterials influence wound healing. The cytotoxicity, long-term effects, and safety of nanomaterials require further evaluation. In future research and clinical applications, nanomaterials present enormous potential to accelerate healing, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes through precision medicine methods, thereby changing the face of 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. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
