Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit original research articles and reviews on the topic of molecular and cellular mechanisms of aortic diseases. Aortic diseases are a group of acute and chronic conditions, whose severity varies significantly from emergency and life-threatening to conservatively managed conditions. Among those pathologies, we include aortic aneurysms and acute aortic syndromes, including aortic dissection, intramural haematoma, penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer and traumatic aortic injury, pseudoaneurysm, aortic rupture, and atherosclerotic and inflammatory affections, as well as genetic diseases (e.g., Marfan syndrome) and congenital abnormalities including the coarctation of the aorta. Papers focused on the molecular/cellular changes underlying the pathogenetic mechanisms of aortic diseases (both thoracic and abdominal) and their progression are welcomed. The aim of this Special Issue is to deepen our understanding of these pathologies in order to identify new diagnostic and prognostic markers, as well as innovative targeted therapies for more personalized therapeutic approaches.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Maria Giovanna Scioli
Guest Editor
