Tissue Scarring, Fibrosis and Regeneration

Dear Colleagues,

Fibrotic scarring represents a prevalent pathological consequence in numerous chronic diseases, manifesting in nearly every tissue throughout the body as a response to injury or illness. This phenomenon can result in structural abnormalities within tissues, organ dysfunction, and enduring disability, posing a substantial challenge to public health. Despite gaining increasing recognition as a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in chronic diseases, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of mechanisms hampers the development of effective treatments to target fibrosis pathogenesis.

We welcome authors to contribute papers to our Special Issue, focusing on the latest advancements in both basic and clinical research related to tissue wound healing, scarring, and regeneration. We eagerly anticipate receiving your submissions and look forward to compiling an informative and insightful collection of articles.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Journal of Clinical Medicine.
