Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the intricate relationship between the circulatory system, coagulation abnormalities and their collective impact on the progression and outcome of infectious diseases. We seek to understand how disruptions in blood flow and clotting mechanisms contribute to the pathophysiology of infections, with an emphasis on identifying potential therapeutic targets and prognostic markers.
This Special Issue will cover a range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- The pathogenic mechanisms by which circulatory and coagulation system dysfunctions exacerbate infectious diseases;
- The role of endothelial cells and platelets in the immunological response to infections;
- Advances in diagnostic techniques for detecting circulatory and coagulation anomalies in the context of infectious diseases;
- The potential of anticoagulant therapies in the management of infection-related complications.
We welcome original research articles and comprehensive review papers that provide insights into the molecular and cellular aspects of this topic.
Prof. Dr. Hsin-Hou Chang

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.
