Abstract
We want this issue to comprise research that not only investigates the interaction between the immune system and tissue regeneration, but also aims to inhibit, promote, alter or monitor that interaction to enhance remodeling and tissue growth. This interaction is important in many thematic areas in tissue engineering, and we think the issue should encompass many anatomical regions and physiological conditions.
This prominent special issue will consider articles from the full breadth of evidence: from original research papers and reviews, to perspectives, profiles, commentaries, and exemplary front matter. The special issue will publish as a collection featured in Tissue Engineering, Part A.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Macrophage response to tissue engineered constructs or strategies Immune response to tissue engineered constructs or strategies Protection of tissue engineered constructs from unwanted immune destruction Immune activating biomaterials in wound response strategies Tissue regeneration with support from immune cells and signals Discovery of immune system and tissue regeneration interactions
We also encourage submission of papers that have been published in conference proceedings, with the requirement that the authors have made significant extensions as compared to the already published version of the study.
