Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The lymphatic and blood circulatory systems are essential to maintaining human health. These vessels are made up of lymphatic and blood endothelial cells, respectively. Blood endothelial cells make up the inner lining of blood vessels and are in charge of a number of crucial tasks, such as controlling blood clotting, promoting inflammation or anti-inflammatory responses, and making it easier for nutrients and oxygen to reach the tissues around the bloodstream. The walls of lymphatic vessels, which create a parallel network to the blood vessels, are lined by a particular type of cell called lymphatic endothelial cells. They are essential for preserving fluid balance, immunological responses, and the transport of various substances within the lymphatic system. Endothelial cell dysfunction or developmental malformation can cause a number of illnesses, such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, sepsis, hypertension, thrombosis, inflammation, aging, lymphedema, cancer metastasis, and immunological problems. Understanding the relationship between the causes of vascular diseases and the molecular mechanisms within endothelial cells is essential for maintaining vascular health and preventing related diseases. This Special Issue, “Molecular Research in Vascular Disease”, welcomes original research and review articles in the field, with a focus on the molecular and mechanistic basis for the vascular disease, and therapeutics.

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.
