Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are grateful to all authors, reviewers, and readers for their responses to the first edition of “Hydrogel for Tissue Regeneration”. You can access these articles at no cost via the following link:

Hydrogels have most commonly been used as a scaffold for tissue regeneration due to their potential to stimulate the construction of an extracellular matrix via a distinct three-dimensional structure and to deliver drugs, stem/progenitor cells, and extracellular vesicles/exosomes. This Special Issue, entitled “Hydrogel for Tissue Regeneration (2nd Edition)”, aims to collect high-quality research and review articles in all fields of gel materials, with a focus on the application of tissue regeneration and engineering. Since the aim of this Special Issue is to illustrate selected works and advances in research into hydrogel materials science, we encourage materials scientists, chemists, or clinical investigators to contribute papers reflecting the latest progress in their research fields. As Guest Editors, we kindly invite you to contribute a research or review paper on any topic related to this Special Issue, including, but not limited to, the following:
- New development and characterization of hydrogels;
- Tissue regeneration/engineering;
- Delivery of stem/progenitor cells, drugs, RNA, DNA, gene, and extracellular vesicles/exosomes;
- Three-dimensional printing, electrospinning, and molding-based injectable gels.
Dr. Dongrim Seol

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. Gels 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 2100 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.
