Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The failure of arterial blood supply underlies a number of the most common cardiovascular illnesses, including myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary artery disease, and peripheral artery disease, among others. Furthermore, defective neovascularization is an important component of the pathobiology of such illnesses as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Despite much effort, attempts at therapeutic revascularization have not yet been successful. However, recent developments in the field promise to change that.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine will cover the following important aspects of this field:
- Molecular understanding of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis
- Molecular basis of defective neovascularization in systemic diseases
- Angiogenic paradox in diabetes
- Vascular complications in diabetes
- Vascular defects in atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis
- Obesity, hypertension and defective neovascularization
- New therapeutic developments
- Drug delivery to the vasculature
