Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the achievement of proper triglyceride and cholesterol levels by drug treatment, cardiovascular disease and stroke remain major causes of death and disability. It suggests that not only the quantity of lipids but also their quality and their distribution among lipoproteins are important. In this context, recent studies have emerged to find therapies focused on improving the composition and functionality of lipoproteins.
This Special Issue, “Molecular Role of Lipids and Lipoproteins in Vascular Disease”, aims to update novel knowledge regarding the qualitative properties of lipids and lipoproteins in the context of vascular diseases. We welcome the submission of original research and review articles that provide information about the lipid-driven molecular mechanisms behind the development of cardiovascular and atherothrombotic disease. We particularly appreciate those studies addressed to provide novel points of view and to open new lines of research. Moreover, studies related to therapeutic strategies against new targets related to lipids and lipoproteins will be of great interest.
