Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human physiology relies on the functioning of the circulatory system, a complex network of vessels that branches out from large to small vessels and obeys, to a high degree, Murray’s principle. A satisfactory level of oxygenation and transport of nutrients is ensured under a wide range of operating conditions. At the same time, little is known about the precise response of the circulatory system and what are the autoregulatory mechanisms that guarantee the proper functioning of the body under specific disorders. In this Special Issue, physiologists, hemodynamists, and bioengineers will shed light on this intriguing and mostly unexplored topic, in particular by showing how disturbances in the flow structure, ranging from large vessels to the level of capillaries, impacts the circulatory system and its capacity to feed the different territories of the human body.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
