Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The special issue “Atherosclerosis: Current Research of Hemodynamic and Hemorheology” focuses on the role of intrinsic characteristics of blood in the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a very complex disease involving different pathways, and its clinical complications are among the major causes of death in the general population. Researches have provided evidence that blood flow characteristics as shear stress, tensile stress, oscillatory stress, and blood properties as hematocrit, blood viscosity, red cell aggregation and deformability, platelet aggregation, white blood cells activation associate with plaques development or endothelial dysfunction. Abnormalities in hemorheology and hemodynamics are associated with major cardiovascular risk factors and might be responsible for the residual cardiovascular risk even when appropriate pharmacological therapy is provided. The research in this specific field has a relevant impact on the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Original in-vivo, ex-vivo, in-vitro, and in-silico investigations as well as concise review manuscripts from experts will be considered for publication.

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.
