Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to fill the knowledge gap in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the tissue repair process and local remodeling after acute thromboembolic events such as myocardial infarction, stroke or acute limb ischemia.
The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory immune mechanisms has a determining role in the severity of acute events and in the subsequent evolution of the patient. An excessive immune response in the acute period or an extended chronic inflammatory response during the recovery period can aggravate the initial injury and lead to defective tissue repair, with deleterious consequences for organ function and patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to publish a series of relevant papers presenting the most important current advances in understanding the molecular pathways involved in post-ischemic tissue repair and recovery. We also encourage colleagues to submit papers identifying new prognostic biomarkers and new therapies aiming to improve patient outcome. We welcome researchers to contribute manuscripts focusing on the molecular pathology, diagnostic methods, prognostic markers, as well as novel therapeutics addressing the repair process following an acute ischemic event.

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.
