Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Platelets play a major cellular role in the regulation of coagulation and thrombosis. Platelets are non-nucleated ligations from megakaryocytes that exhibit multiple interactions with the vascular endothelium and provide a procoagulant surface that is crucial to clot formation. Additionally, platelets have been shown to act as mediators of immunity and inflammation, either by direct interaction with immune cells or by the granule release of proinflammatory/immunomodulating molecules. Consequently, platelet dysfunction, be it hereditary, acquired, or pharmacologically induced, contributes to various pathological processes, such as bleeding, thrombosis, acute/chronic inflammation, metastasis, and bacterial infection.
This Special Issue aims to promote research investigating how platelets are involved in various pathophysiological processes, and how specific platelet defects contribute to the development and progression of disease. Therefore, we welcome basic research on cellular/molecular interactions.
As the Guest Editors for this Special Issue, I call on all researchers in this evolving field to contribute articles and help to make this Special Issue a valuable contribution to understanding platelet function.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
