Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vascular disease (VD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. VD includes atherosclerotic manifestations such as peripheral artery disease (PAD), acute limb ischemia (ALI), and carotid stenosis (CS); central and peripheral aneurysms; chronic venous disease (CVD) and venous thromboembolism (VTE); and vascular wounds such as diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), venous leg ulcer (VLU), and arterial leg ulcer (ALU).
Novel biomarkers related to molecular sciences research and application may be used as screening and risk-assessment tools to identify patients who are vulnerable to VD in the new context of Precision Medicine. In fact, the recent experimental technical progress related to biology, chemistry, and molecular medicine has allowed scientists to find effective biomarkers to assess and identify high-risk individuals, ensure prompt and accurate diagnosis, and follow up on patients who have undergone medical treatment and/or vascular and endovascular surgery procedures.
Currently, the complex approach to illness considers biology and medicine to be connected to social and molecular determinants of health that are strictly related to molecular sciences and biomarkers.
For this Special Issue, we invite investigators to contribute original research and review papers that provide new insights into the biomolecular mechanisms of VD, as well as work on new diagnostic and prognostic tools/biomarkers related to therapeutic strategies.
Prof. Dr. Raffaele Serra
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
