Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many recent studies have confirmed that the lymphatic system plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and arterial hypertension. However, the relationship between the lymphatic and vascular systems has not been thoroughly explored. Only a better understanding of this relationship will open up new possibilities for therapeutic interventions in vascular diseases.
This Special Issue aims to expand our knowledge on the physiological and pathological role of the lymphatic system in vascular diseases.
We are pleased to invite you to share the results of your current research on the relationship between the lymphatic system and vascular diseases. This Special Issue is intended to consist of basic, translational, clinical, original, and review articles.
Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Atherosclerosis;
- Vasculitis;
- Vascular malformations;
- Hypertension;
- Chronic venous insufficiency;
- The function of the lymphatic system in the vascular system of many organ systems, such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and brain.
