Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite being among the leading global health threats, vascular diseases still suffer from a limited range of pharmacological targets and effective therapeutics, and thus require urgent attention. Vascular remodeling plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, from responding to various kinds of vascular challenges to adapting to the changes in vascular homeostasis. As a result, vascular remodeling could be a potent research direction to decode the mechanism of vascular disease progression. Additionally, the cellular mechanisms of vascular remodeling, which include multiple types of vascular cells such as smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, macrophages, etc., remain poorly understood. To address this concern, this Special Issue encompasses research related to cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways during the vascular remodeling process, including atherosclerosis, aneurysm, intimal hyperplasia, and other vascular diseases. We encourage submissions covering novel targets and mechanisms underlying vascular remodeling and pathogenesis. Studies that reveal and elucidate these processes within the theme of this Special Issue will contribute to the development of pharmacological and therapeutic treatments to vascular diseases.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
