Bioengineering Strategies for Nerve Repair

Dear Colleagues,

The field of nerve repair has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, driven by the interdisciplinary collaboration between bioengineering and neuroscience. The potential for developing innovative interventions and therapeutic approaches to treat nerve injuries has increased tremendously, resulting in potential breakthroughs for individuals suffering from these debilitating conditions. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research and highlight a diverse range of bioengineering strategies focused on nerve repair.

This Special Issue invites the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that encompass a wide range of topics related to bioengineering strategies for nerve repair. We encourage submissions that explore various aspects of nerve regeneration, nerve tissue engineering, biomaterials design, imaging techniques, and innovative approaches to enhance nerve function recovery.

Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Nerve tissue engineering using biocompatible scaffolds and three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques;
• Bioactive materials and their role in nerve repair and regeneration;
• Advanced imaging techniques for monitoring nerve regeneration processes;
• Neurophysiological assessments and functional restoration approaches;
• Neural interfaces and neuroprosthetics for nerve repair;
• Gene therapy and gene delivery systems for nerve regeneration;
• Stem cell-based therapies and their potential in nerve repair;
• Optimizing electrical stimulation and other physical interventions for nerve tissue regeneration;

Novel drug delivery systems and their integration with bioengineered constructs for enhanced nerve repair outcomes.

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.
