Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a Special Issue focusing on vascular biology and chronic kidney disease (CKD), which will be dedicated to sharing cutting-edge knowledge on the interplay between vascular biology and CKD. This Special Issue will provide a platform to discuss innovative findings that can enhance our understanding of vascular systems and their critical role in CKD progression, while facilitating advancements in therapeutic strategies to combat CKD-related vascular dysfunction.
The vascular endothelium, composed of a monolayer of cells, is a vital organ in regulating vascular functions. It plays key roles in vascular growth and remodeling, the modulation of immune and thrombotic responses, and the maintenance of homeostasis and angiogenesis through interactions between the vessel wall and immune cells. Endothelial dysfunction is a major contributor to CKD-related complications, including reduced renal blood flow, vascular calcification, and heightened cardiovascular risk.
For this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies that can advance our understanding of vascular biology in the context of CKD, aiming to facilitate efforts that will pave the way for improved therapeutic approaches.
Prof. Dr. Yongseek Park
Guest Editor
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. Life 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 2600 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.
