Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke in patients with diabetes. Various biochemical pathways activated under diabetic conditions could contribute to the acceleration of atherosclerosis. Among them, accumulation of cholesterol esters into macrophages is the early characteristic feature of atherosclerosis, which is considered to play a crucial role in the development and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is important to clarify the underlying molecular mechanism for accelerated foam cell formation of macrophages and atherosclerotic progress in diabetes mellitus. For this Special Issue, we invite original research and review articles on recent progress in molecular mechanisms of macrophages and atherosclerosis in animals or patients with diabetes mellitus

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
