Advanced Biomaterials for Wound Healing

Dear Colleagues,

Wound healing is a dynamic interactive process that involves parenchymal cells, extracellular matrix, blood cells, and soluble mediators. The three phases of wound healing are the inflammatory, proliferative, and the tissue re-modeling phases. Thus far, many researchers have been developing the studies of wound healing. Many criteria are used for the classification of wound dressings. These include classification based on the physical form of the dressing, such as gels, ointments, creams, films, and scaffolds. In fact, efficiencies of many biomaterials are indicated. More recently, nano-based biomaterials have been developing. The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss advanced, innovative, and functional biomaterials for wound healing. Research, review, and future articles, focusing on the related fields, are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
