Vascular Biology: From Molecular Mechanisms to Precision Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this forthcoming Special Issue of Cells, aiming to highlight recent advances in our understanding of vascular biology and how fundamental discoveries are being translated into targeted and precision-based therapeutic strategies.

The vascular endothelium plays a central role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, regulating blood–tissue barriers, and orchestrating inflammatory and metabolic responses. Dysregulation of vascular signaling contributes to a wide range of pathologies, including cardiovascular disease, lung injury, retinopathy, and other microvascular complications. Rapid progress in molecular, cellular, and system-level approaches has opened new opportunities to identify actionable targets and develop innovative therapies.

We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing topics including, but not limited to, endothelial signaling mechanisms, vascular inflammation, angiogenesis, barrier dysfunction, metabolic regulation of the vasculature, and translational or precision-medicine approaches to vascular disease. I hope you will consider contributing to this Special Issue and joining us in advancing the field of vascular biology. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding suitability or scope.

Dr. Payaningal R. Somanath
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. 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.
