Age-Related Vascular Physiology

Dear Colleagues, 

Blood vessels play a crucial role in the proper function of the organs and the well-being of the organism. Age changes in the vasculature are associated with vascular diseases that lead to significant morbidity and mortality of old people, which are ever increasing in the population, and primary care is a priority for clinicians.

One common factor to this health issue is an age-related decline in vascular structure and function that is presently not completely understood. Several studies are focused on understanding molecular aspects of age-impaired vascular systems. This Special Issue aims to collect the most recent information related to vascular changes associated with aging and the underlying molecular mechanisms to provide new insights and innovative strategies for the management of vascular disorders that affect older people.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
