Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are several well-known functions of coagulation factors and natural anticoagulants involved not only in maintaining hemostasis but also in other different physiological processes. The deficiencies of coagulation factors and inhibitors may lead to a variety of clinical symptoms as a result of different molecular mechanisms operating in the background. By understanding genotype–phenotype correlations and describing the novel functions and molecular interactions of these proteins involved in blood coagulation, finding novel diagnostic and therapeutic solutions becomes promising. This Special Issue focuses on the roles of coagulation factors and natural anticoagulants in health and diseases, and studies conducted at the molecular level, in silico and in a clinical laboratory are welcome to improve our knowledge concerning the structure, function, and behaviour of these factors in normal conditions; their alterations in diseases; and laboratory solutions for detecting their presence and function under different circumstances.

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.
