Thrombosis: From Basic Mechanisms to Saving Lives

Dear Colleagues,

Thrombosis underlies multiple diseases which are among the main causes of death worldwide. For example, thrombosis is a central mechanism for pathologies such as myocardial infarction/heart attack, ischemic stroke, deep vein thrombosis, as well as many others. Pathways leading to thrombus development in both arteries and veins present their own characteristics but are incompletely understood. On the other hand, modern methods of antithrombotic therapy have certain disadvantages, including insufficient efficacy or bleeding complications. In the present Special Issue, we intend to discuss both fundamental and clinical aspects of various types of thrombosis, novel methods and perspectives of thrombosis prevention, as well as new approaches to diagnosis of thrombosis-based diseases. We cordially invite all basic researchers and physicians to submit their original studies or reviews to this Special Issue and hope that this will give a great opportunity to share knowledge and discuss different facets of this life-threatening process.
