Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an urgent need for research on acute and chronic wound healing, considered by the World Health Organization a worldwide problem. Various therapeutic methods are available to help in tissue repair and the overall healing process. The specific aim of this Special Issue is to attract research showcasing novel and innovative methods using modern techniques to improve the process of wound healing and better outcomes of tissue regeneration of the skin. Such methods include nanoformulations of natural products extracted from medicinal plants and their effects on inflammation and wound healing. We aim to publish a variety of papers that will be
of interest to scholars in the field.
We invite the submission of papers ranging from those dealing with classical tissue engineering, regeneration, and repair to in vitro studies, preclinical and clinical trials of modern soft tissue replacement, and skin interaction with groundbreaking material and their associated risks. However, other ailments related to skin abrasion will also be considered. Studies related to the use of nanomaterials including the use of micro/nanomaterial-based scaffolding for the finetuning of the wound repair will be given high priority.
The ultimate goal of the announced Special Issue titled “Medicinal Plants Effects on Inflammation and Wound Healing” is to provide scientists with new and novel methods that have impacted wound-healing repair strategies, leading to improved quality of life and better economic outcomes.
