Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Erythrocytes are critical oxygen transporters and regulate a wide range of physiological functions to maintain homeostasis. In circulation, erythrocytes are exposed to various challenges and may become injured, which leads to their death and clearance. Increased erythrocyte death, also called eryptosis, has been shown to be associated with anemia related to various clinical conditions. In the last decade, a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors regulating erythrocyte survival have been comprehensively studied. Since these cells lack important organelles such as mitochondria and nucleus, specialized mechanisms regulate the apoptosis process. However, these processes and their clinical and biological significance in humans are not fully understood. This Special Issue aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the clinical significance and mechanism of erythrocyte death. We are pleased to invite you to contribute original articles, short communications, and reviews on various aspects of erythrocyte apoptosis studied in human diseases, animal models and in vitro.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
