Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic inflammatory diseases share diverse, complex, and often poorly understood cellular and molecular drivers. The advent of multi-omics approaches through the recent advancements in comprehensive epigenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic profiling has enabled the multidisciplinary interrogation of these drivers at a more granular level. The resulting findings have put the spotlight on tissue resident (stromal) cells—in addition to leukocytes—as mediators of pathways that prevent tissue healing and promote the development of long-lasting inflammation.
In this Special Issue, we are pleased to invite you to submit original research articles or reviews revealing cellular and molecular mechanisms of chronic inflammation and healing processes in unprecedented detail, with a focus on the interaction between tissue resident cells and leukocytes.
We particularly welcome original research articles leveraging novel technologies to reveal previously unknown mechanisms of tissue inflammation and healing; research articles that address the temporal/longitudinal dynamics of chronic inflammation and healing; original research developing innovative tools and approaches to study inflammatory and healing cascades; and reviews discussing recent original research that led to the development of novel concepts in this area.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Biology 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.
