Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying PE pathogenesis, progression, resolution, and long-term complications remain incompletely understood. Gaining deeper mechanistic insight is essential to improve risk stratification, therapeutic strategies, and patient outcomes.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences aims to present a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the molecular landscape of PE. We invite original research articles, authoritative reviews, and innovative perspectives exploring biological processes driving thrombogenesis, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, coagulation, platelet activation, fibrinolysis, and vascular remodeling.
Topics of particular interest include the role of coagulation cascades, platelet activation, immune cell interactions, extracellular vesicles, and the molecular basis of PE complications. By convening leading experts and emerging investigators, this Special Issue aims to stimulate interdisciplinary dialogue and accelerate the translation of molecular insights into precision medicine approaches for improved diagnosis, risk stratification, prognosis and targeted treatment of PE.
We warmly invite the scientific community to contribute to this timely and clinically relevant collection. Submissions from diverse disciplines are welcome.
Dr. Hugo Hyung Bok Yoo

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.
