Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Platelet-related thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, are among the major targets in the clinical prevention of these cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, mechanisms involving platelets as well as endothelial/vascular dysfunctions and inflammation in CVDs appear complex and require continuous efforts to discover new therapeutic targets. This Special Issue on “Insights into Mechanisms Underlying Cardiovascular Disease” will focus on recent advances in molecular and cellular mechanisms involving platelet-related thrombotic events, vascular dysfunctions, and inflammation in CVDs. Answering questions related to this broad topic will provide a substantial gain in the knowledge of these pathologies and will enable clinicians to personalize patient healthcare, which is a major goal for the health system. We are mainly interested in both original and review articles in basic and translational science that describe novel mechanisms involved in, but not limited to, platelet production and activation, thrombo-inflammation and thrombosis, vascular dysfunction, and inflammatory responses in CVDs.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
