Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of the first edition of our Special Issue, titled “Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Vascular-Related Diseases”, we are pleased to announce the launch of its second edition.
Vascular-related diseases occur in large, small and micro vessels. They include atherosclerosis, aneurysm, coronary microcirculation dysfunction, stroke and cerebral hemorrhage, and infectious diseases, to name a few. In addition, chronic diabetes and chronic kidney disease induce vascular complications and tumor cells utilize the vascular system for their metastasis. Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, meningitis, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other CNS disorders all have dysfunctional vascular systems. To develop effective and efficient therapeutic strategies, it is necessary to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these vascular-related diseases.
This Special Issue will collect research articles and review articles that investigate the above-mentioned mechanisms using animal models and cell culture models, in addition to other studies.

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 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-anonymized 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.
