Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) invites submissions to our Special Issue entitled “Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP): Pathophysiology, Clinical Practice and Future Developments”.
We welcome contributions spanning basic and translational mechanisms to cutting-edge diagnostics, with explicit attention to the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technological tools (e.g., advanced imaging, multi-omics and decision-support systems) in refining phenotyping, risk stratification, and clinical workflows.
From a therapeutic standpoint, we seek state-of-the-art reviews and original research addressing current standards of care as well as the evolving therapeutic pipeline, including novel agents, biomarkers of response, and strategies for refractory disease and relapse prevention.
At the heart of this Special Issue lies a deliberate focus on underexplored domains—long-term comorbidities, survivorship, and the real-world impact on quality of life (QoL). We encourage authors to connect the dots between technical innovation and comprehensive care, moving beyond platelet counts toward outcomes that matter to patients.
By publishing in JCM, authors will help shape a high-visibility, field-defining reference for specialized hematologists worldwide.
Dr. María Eva Mingot Castellano
