Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have gained significant attention in the field of wound healing due to their remarkable regenerative potential. These multipotent cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including skin cells, making them a promising candidate for promoting tissue repair and regeneration. MSCs play a crucial role in modulating the inflammatory response, promoting angiogenesis, and stimulating the production of extracellular matrix components, all of which are essential processes in wound healing.
Recent studies have shown that MSC-based therapies can effectively accelerate wound closure, improve wound healing outcomes, and reduce scar formation. In addition, MSCs have been shown to possess immunomodulatory properties, further enhancing their therapeutic potential for wound healing. Advances in stem cell research have led to the development of innovative MSC-based treatments, such as MSC-based dressings and scaffolds, which offer a promising alternative to traditional wound care approaches.

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.
