Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Angiogenesis: From Molecular Insights to Therapeutic Strategies”, aims to collect original research and reviews focused on the molecular mechanisms underlying angiogenesis in physiological and pathological contexts, including cancer, wound healing, and inflammatory diseases. Particular attention will be given to innovative therapeutic strategies targeting angiogenic signaling pathways. Submissions should include biomolecular experiments that explore gene expression, signaling cascades, or molecular interactions. While purely clinical studies are not within the scope of IJMS, translational research and model-based studies incorporating molecular biology data are encouraged. Our goal is to bridge basic science and potential clinical applications through a molecular lens.
Dr. Emanuela Pessolano
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. 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.
