Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biodegradable polymers (Biopolymers) have been extensively used for skin regeneration and repair because of their ability to adapt to physiological tissues and promote an effective wound healing. Combining biopolymers with tissue engineering and nanotechnology resulted in the development of innovative technologies as 3D scaffolds, advanced wound dressings, skin substitutes, and dermal implants etc. that have shown excellent properties in term of adaptability, flexibility, and ready availability, which are necessary to support skin repair, remodelling, and regeneration. The continuous development of these advanced technologies may address the limits of conventional treatments for skin regeneration and wound healing. This motivated researchers to design and develop advanced biopolymer-based technologies with enhanced features to overcome key challenges in the areas of skin tissue engineering and wound healing.
This special issue of Pharmaceutics, entitled “Biodegradable Polymers for Tissue Engineering and Wound Healing”, seeks to gather a collection of original research and review articles on biopolymer-based technologies for skin regeneration, repair, and remodelling. The authors are invited to share their latest progress and perspectives on the development of biopolymer-based technologies for skin tissue engineering and the implementation of the wound healing process.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 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.
