Materials and Methods for Genetic and Cell-Based Therapy for Ocular Tissue

Dear Colleagues,

Retinal injury and repair are significant areas of research within the field of ophthalmology. The development of innovative materials and methods for the treatment of retinal injuries has emerged as a promising avenue for improving visual outcomes and preserving retinal function.

Topics to be covered in this Special Issue include the use of biomaterials for retinal repair, innovative surgical techniques for treating retinal injuries, advancements in drug delivery systems targeting specific retinal layers, and the development of novel imaging modalities for assessing retinal damage and repair. Additionally, studies focusing on stem cell therapies, gene therapies, and other regenerative medicine approaches for retinal injury and repair are of particular interest. By showcasing the diverse strategies and materials being developed for retinal repair, this collection of articles aims to inspire new avenues of research and innovation in the field of ophthalmology.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
