Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lymphedema and lipedema are complex diseases. While the external presentation of swollen legs in lower extremity lymphedema and lipedema appear similar, the current mechanistic understandings of these diseases indicate unique aspects of their underlying pathophysiology. They share certain clinical features, such as fluid, fat and fibrosis. Nevertheless, these diverge on their time course and known molecular regulators of pathophysiology and genetics. This divergence likely indicates a unique route leading to interstitial fluid accumulation and subsequent inflammation in lymphedema versus lipedema. Much work remains in this area toward the better management of lymphedema and lipedema. This Special Issue intends to provide an overview of recent advances in the field of lymphedema and lipedema management, and understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of lymphedema and lipedema.
We cordially invite researchers involved in basic research, as well as in translational studies, to submit their original research, systematic reviews and short communications to this Special Issue.
Dr. Shuhei Yoshida
Guest Editor
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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
