Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on its etiology, stroke can be classified into ischemic or hemorrhagic subtypes. Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, physical inactivity and cardiovascular disorders are the main modifiable risk factors.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms mediating each of these risk factors is expected to contribute significantly to reducing stroke risk, preventing neural damage, improving rehabilitation, and designing appropriate treatments. Abnormalities in the structure of the blood–brain barrier and blood vessels, thrombosis, vasoconstriction, atherosclerosis, reduced cerebral blood flow, neural oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, reduced synaptic transmission, excitotoxicity, and altered expression/activity of many signaling channels and proteins are the best known mechanisms responsible for stroke induction.
The role of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in hemorrhagic stroke has not yet been fully elucidated, and its role in ischemic stroke also remains unclear and worthy of further investigation.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences entitled “Molecular Pathogenesis of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes” will present studies that address the molecular pathogenesis of cerebrovascular damage due to the principal cerebrovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, inflammation, and physical inactivity. This Special Issue will also showcase research that focuses on the role of amyloid angiopathy in the pathogenesis of hemorrhagic stroke and examines the possible role of amyloid as possible pathogenetic stroke in vascular damage mechanisms linked to the different subtypes of ischemic stroke.

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.
