Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to the success of our first and second Special Issues on angiogenesis and inflammation in biological barriers, I am pleased to announce the launch of a third volume. This Special Issue will gather publications that focus on two key processes, angiogenesis and inflammation, which strongly contribute to the functioning of highly vascularized biological barriers (BBs). The scope of this third Issue will be more focused on BB-associated pathologies. Biological barriers are essential for the integrity and proper functioning of many vertebrate organs, and are critical for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and protection against pathogens or other tissue-damaging agents. BBs separate internal and external compartments, and are formed by specialized cell types, such as epithelial and endothelial cells, that interface the body and the external environment. Recent studies have uncovered the role of new inflammatory and angiogenic proteins in the control of the integrity of these BBs and their physiological functioning. Deregulations in the expression and/or function of these proteins may explain BB-associated pathologies such as infections, exacerbated inflammation, tissue injury, and cancer. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews focused on pathological angiogenesis and inflammation in highly vascularized biological barriers.

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. Biomedicines 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
