Journal of Tissue Repair and Regeneration
Repair restores the continuity of a tissue. Regeneration restores its structure and function. This journal publishes research on both, and on the cells, materials, models and methods that make either one testable — across every tissue and organ system, from fundamental biology through to clinical practice.

The record, read as correspondences
In regenerative work a finding is usually a pairing: something applied — a cell population, a molecule, a scaffold, a device, a procedure — and the tissue, model or material that responded to it. Each entry below is read that way; the note under each record says what that study did, in the terms of its own abstract.
Lysozyme
Porous chitosan scaffolds
Biomaterials and scaffolds
Lysozyme-Induced Degradation of Chitosan: The Characterisation of Degraded Chitosan ScaffoldsHow it was studiedScaffolds incubated for four weeks at physiological temperature in two media, then characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy alongside gravimetric analysis.
Acute and chronic wound fluid
Dermal and epidermal cells in a 3D wound model
Wound biology and models
Acute and Chronic Wound Fluid Inversely Influence Wound Healing in an in-Vitro 3D Wound ModelHow it was studiedPooled wound fluid from patients with acute or with chronic wounds, applied to a three-dimensional in vitro wound model over ten days, read by histology and immunohistochemistry for proliferation, fibroblast activity and migration.
A topical gel with neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Periwound tissue in a diabetic mouse delayed-healing model
Immune, vascular and matrix response
Diabetic Mouse Delayed Wound Model Following Treatment with the NerveStim™ Neuropathy SystemHow it was studiedPeriwound tissue harvested at day fourteen from a diabetic mouse delayed wound model and profiled by NanoString gene expression against untreated controls, reading angiogenic, neurotrophic, macrophage and matrix-remodeling pathways.
Bone-marrow and adipose mesenchymal stem cells
Methotrexate-injured rat intestinal tissue
Cell-based therapy and organ repair
Effect of Bone Marrow and Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Rat Intestinal Injury Induced by MethotrexateHow it was studiedFive groups of rats, with bone-marrow and adipose-derived cells each compared against dexamethasone after methotrexate dosing, measuring inflammatory, oxidant and apoptotic markers in intestinal tissue.
Three-dimensional titanium nickelide mesh
Cavitary femoral bone defects in rats
Hard tissue and implant interfaces
Bone Tissue Repair During Implantation of Titanium Nickelide Mesh: Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Electron Probe Microanalysis ObservationHow it was studiedCavitary femoral metaphysis defects modeled in Wistar rats against a control group over sixty days, read by radiography, light and electron microscopy and X-ray electron probe microanalysis.
Amniotic membrane grafts
Skin and mucosa in severe pediatric Lyell syndrome
Clinical barrier restoration
Treatment of a Severe Pediatric Lyell Syndrome with Amniotic Membrane: Case Report and Histological FindingsHow it was studiedA single pediatric case with exfoliation across the total body surface. Amniotic membranes were grafted serially to the affected skin and mucosa alongside supportive care, with biopsies taken to follow histological change.
A combined wound-care system
Chronic infected diabetic foot and leg ulcers
Translational and clinical research
Diabetic Foot and Leg Ulcer & Peri-wound Neuropathy Healing Feasibility StudiesHow it was studiedTwo prospective feasibility cohorts covering thirty-nine chronic infected diabetic wounds that had failed standard care, following microbial burden, wound closure and neuropathy-related symptoms.
Showing 7 of the 9 records JTRR has published. The archive carries the complete record, and the current issue lists what was published most recently.
The range those records sit in
The pairing above is how this journal reads its record, not a test a manuscript has to pass. Many contributions sit on one side of it — a material characterized on its own terms, a method offered for others to use, a computational study, an observational study, a replication, a synthesis — and each is asked the same question: what does the work contribute to repair or regeneration, and how.
Mechanisms of repair and regeneration
Signaling in healing and regeneration, stem and progenitor cell biology, matrix remodeling and fibrogenesis, apoptosis and cell survival, growth-factor and cytokine networks.
Inflammation, immunity and the vascular response
Immune and inflammatory control of healing, macrophage and stromal behavior, angiogenesis and revascularization, endothelial function and the tissue microenvironment.
Wound healing and tissue pathophysiology
Acute and chronic wounds, impaired and diabetic healing, scarring, fibrosis and keloid pathogenesis, barrier restoration, mechanobiology, and regenerative capacity with age.
Biomaterials and scaffolds
Design, synthesis and characterization of natural and synthetic materials, degradation behavior, hydrogels and composites, bioprinting, surface functionalization and biocompatibility.
Tissue engineering and regenerative therapies
Engineered constructs across organ systems, vascularization strategies, cell therapy including mesenchymal and induced pluripotent stem cells, and gene and molecular engineering applied to repair.
Hard tissue, dental and implant interfaces
Bone and cartilage repair, osteogenesis and osteointegration, implant surfaces and the tissue response at the interface, and tooth, periodontal and other oral tissue regeneration.
Models, imaging and measurement
In vitro systems, organoids and organ-on-chip platforms, animal models of injury and repair, and imaging, histology and spectroscopy — including work whose contribution is the method itself.
Computational and data-driven approaches
Modeling of tissue mechanics and repair dynamics, machine learning applied to regenerative questions, computational design of biomaterials, and bioinformatics.
Translational and clinical research
Preclinical and translational studies carrying laboratory work toward practice, reconstructive approaches combined with regenerative strategies, and clinical series, case reports and trials.
The aims and scope sets out what each domain covers, how neighboring fields are read, and what a submission is asked to establish.
Who carries editorial responsibility
12 editors across 10 countries, covering the material, cellular, device and clinical sides of the field — which is what lets a pairing be assessed on both of its terms. 7 members publish an ORCID iD.
The full editorial board lists every member with their affiliation and profile.
How a manuscript is handled
All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review.
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.
Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. They remain independent of fees, membership and editorial or reviewing roles.
The editorial policies set out authorship, ethics, data availability and corrections in full.
What publishing here involves
- Open access
