Biomedical Polymer Materials for Wound Healing

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic hard-to-heal wounds, uncontrollable wound ulcers, diabetic foot, and fall fractures due to imbalance of bone homeostasis in aging are major medical and public health problems that require solutions in an aging society. The difficulty lies in the weak active regulatory repair function of aging organisms.

We are pleased to invite you to share your latest research progress, development direction, and advanced reviews of biomedical polymer materials that utilize polymers as the core raw materials in wound healing.

This Special Issue aims to establish an autonomous repair strategy for complex hard-to-heal wounds by discussing and presenting the functionalization and spatiotemporal regulation of tissue regeneration, with a view to breaking through the clinical technical bottleneck of vascularized regenerative repair of hard-to-heal wounds. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: biomedical polymer; wound healing; tissue regeneration; multifunctional hydrogels; tissue-engineered scaffolds, skin dressings; hemostatic materials; wearable devices; and drug-controlled release systems.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Panpan Pan

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. Polymers 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 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.
