Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among its numerous functions, the skin is mainly responsible for maintaining the structural and physiological barrier between an organism’s internal and external environment. As the first line of defense against external threats, the skin is injured more frequently than any other tissue and the damage, while repairable, leads to permanent scarring in mammals. In domestic animals and humans, scarring on the skin after surgery, trauma, burn, or sports injury is a major medical problem, generally resulting in adverse aesthetics, loss of function, restriction of tissue movement, and/or growth and adverse psychological effects. The main objective of this Special Issue is to collect the knowledge for the prevention and/or treatment of dermal scarring because the current treatments are empirical, unreliable, and unpredictable.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
