Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a large glycosaminoglycan that regulates physiological processes in most tissues. HA is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and hydrophilic macromolecule. The discovery of the HA composite’s biological roles has led to the promotion of new investigations and clinical interest in several fields, such as medicine, ophthalmology, articular pathologies, cutaneous repair, skin remodeling, vascular prosthesis, tissue engineering, and nerve reconstruction. It has been widely reported that HA and HA receptors are involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological functions and are key mediators during inflammation, healing processes, and tissue regeneration. Finally, the use of HA-based biomaterials in drug delivery systems has recently increased due to the great targeting capability of this polysaccharide on its receptor complex on cell membranes.
This Special Issue aims to present a collection of research achievements regarding hyaluronic acid and its use for regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical purposes.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
