Prospective in wound healing. What will be the next?

A wound sets off a series of morphological and chemical processes that are intended to stop bleeding, stop or prevent infection, remove damaged tissue, and eventually heal the injured tissue. A chronic wound, keloids, or hypertrophic scars that are difficult to treat might develop as a result of the disruption or modification of these processes. To actively manage the response to surgical procedures and treatments that are presently becoming more crucial in the control of wounds, it is evident that a detailed understanding of the cells and molecules involved in the tissue response to trauma is essential.

Thus, this special issue's goals are to increase clinical and scientific interest in this fascinating area and to provide as a resource for anyone working to address the issues raised by wounds and their recovery.

This collection welcome research articles, comments, prospective, short communication and systematic review. Of particular interest to the Special Issue Editors, areas of interest include the molecular and the cellular processes in wound healing.

Authors must submit their abstract (manuscript summary) by August 31, 2026. Only if the abstract is accepted will they be invited to submit the full manuscript, which will be due by January 31, 2027.
