Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been widely used for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, restenosis has always remained to be a major concern for the effectiveness and complication of PCI. Although the development of drug eluting stents (DESs) has significantly reduced the restenosis rate down to 5-20% of patients after PCI as compared to bare metal stents (BMS), intervention or prediction of restenosis still remains to be an important issue to maintain the life quality of patients receiving PCI. Novel DES with even lower restenosis rate or pharmacological approaches to prevent restenosis or identification of precise risk factors leading to restenosis are all awaiting further exploration. This Special Issue "Pathological Mechanisms Involved in Restenosis Progression" will call for papers with outstanding findings to eliminate the incidence of restenosis or to identify biomarkers for the prediction of restenosis.

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.
